More than three generations of Afghan people have migrated all over the world. Countries like Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, as well as Western countries like the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany, have been their targets. This book is about what the origin of the diaspora is, what the definition of diaspora is, how the concept of diaspora came into being in the 20th and 21st centuries, and the different types of diasporas. For clarity, the most important concepts of diaspora such as otherness, acculturation, cultural diversity, hybridity, ambivalence, mimicry, belonging, and return are considered and defined. Against this background, the book focuses on the Afghan diaspora in different parts of the world and Iran in particular. The final part of this book offers some short accounts of Afghan lives in Iran, providing practical examples of diaspora studies.
