For my Ph.D. dissertation on the Korean adoption issue where I am
looking at how international adoption and adopted Koreans are
perceived in today's Korea by examining the occurence of the subject
in newspapers and popular culture, I am in need of parallell
references on how a certain homeland looks at its diaspora and the
reason for the creation of the dispersal, be it through adoption,
indentured labour, slavery, persection or emigration. There are
numerous studies on how a diaspora looks at its homeland and
reconciles with its own displacement, but it seems to be difficult to
find studies based on a perspective the other way around. I am
especially thinking about references on West African perceptions of
diasporized Africans in the New World, or Israeli discourses on
overseas Jews.
Thank you very much in advance,
