About this Unit
In 2021 this unit replaced by 102862 - Migration and Social Change. This unit discusses theories of migration, transnationalism, globalisation, diaspora and identity. We examine the experience of migration and settlement, and the transnational cultural forms that emerge in this process. We investigate the role of new means of communication such as the internet in connecting migrants and the homeland. We also analyse how religion supports migrants in the process of homebuilding. Finally, this unit also discusses the descendants of migrant who have 'returned' to the homeland after living abroad for generations. Do they become minorities in their ancestral homeland despite their presumed ethnic similarities with the host population?
