Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The forced or voluntary dispersal of people from their ancestral homelands to new regions

Diaspora explores the complexities of identity for those living away from their 'center'. It focuses on themes of displacement, nostalgia, and the creation of 'hyphenated' identities (e.g., British-Indian) that challenge the idea of a fixed national identity.
