Drawing on ethnographic research across Canada, Switzerland, the UK, the US and Sri Lanka, this book offers a compelling account of how diaspora politics unfold within complex international systems.
Catherine Craven reveals how Tamil diaspora mobilisations are shaped by logics of power focused on markets, rights and control. She shows how global power is refracted through local bureaucratic, spatial and discursive politics, creating both constraints and openings for agency. Engaging with debates on state power, migration and globalization, this book makes a vital contribution to scholarship on diaspora governance and world politics.
Catherine Ruth Craven is an International Political Sociologist and Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the University of Sheffield.
