SECTION 1
DIASPORA
Diaspora "scattering, dispersion is a scattered population with
a common origin in a smaller geographic area. Diaspora can also
refer to the movement of the population from its original
homeland. Diaspora has come to refer particularly to historical
mass dispersions of an involuntary nature, such as the expulsion
of Jews from Judea, the African Trans-Atlantic slave trade,
Europeans from north western Europe, the southern Chinese or
Hindus of South Asia during the coolie trade, or the century-long
exile of the Messenians under Spartan rule.
Recently, scholars have distinguished between different kinds of
diaspora, based on its causes such as imperialism, trade or labor
migrations, or by the kind of social coherence within the diaspora
community and its ties to the ancestral lands.
Some diaspora communities maintain strong political ties with their
homeland. Other qualities that may be typical of many diasporas are
thoughts of return, relationships with other communities in the
diaspora, and lack of full integration into the host country.

SECTION 2
AFRICAN
DIASPORA
The African diaspora refers to the communities throughout the world
that are descended from the historic movement of peoples from Africa,
predominantly to the Americas, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East,
among other areas around the globe. The term has been historically
applied in particular to the descendants of the West and Central
Africans who were enslaved and shipped to the Americas by way of the
Atlantic slave trade, with the largest population in Brazil despite
some misconceptions (see Afro-Brazilian), followed by the USA and
others.
However, African Diaspora discourse and scholarship is changing in
recent years to include various other populations of African descent
who have been displaced and dispersed due to enslavement, genocide,
and other global forces. As such, theories about mythical homelands,
collective memory, the experience of racism, and the emergence of
Pan-African sentiment are common among notions about the African
Diaspora. In the contemporary moment, the ever-increasing demand for
labor accounts for the ongoing displacement of Africans. Although
four circulatory phases[4] of migration out of Africa has been
identified to talk about the African Diaspora, other scholars have
entertained the possibility for various forms of diasporization
among African-descended people.
With regard to all historic migrations (forced and voluntary), the
African Union defined the African diaspora as:
"consisting of people of African origin living outside the continent,
irrespective of their citizenship and nationality and who are willing
to contribute to the development of the continent and the building of
the African Union." Its constitutive act declares that it shall
"invite and encourage the full participation of the African diaspora
as an important part of our continent, in the building of the African
Union."

AFRO-ASIAN
Afro-Asian refers to a person of mixed Black and Asian ancestry.
The term also can refer to modern descendants of aboriginal,
mostly uncontacted, Asian ethnic groups with direct genetic ties
to ancient first-wave migrants coming out of continental Africa.
Historically, Afro-Asian populations have been marginalized as
a result of human migration and social conflict. Much has not
changed for many within the global, present-day, Afro-Asian
population.

settled in countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and India.
These communities are the Sheedis/Siddis, Siddi, Siddis settled in
Karnataka and Gujrat just a 400 years ago, Sri Lanka Kaffirs. One of
the largest communities of Africans in India and Pakistan, are the
Siddis.

AMERICAN
DIASPORA
The American diaspora or overseas Americans refers to the population
of United States citizens who relocate, temporarily or permanently,
to foreign countries. There are no reliable figures on how many
Americans live abroad, but a State Department estimate suggests that
the number may be between 3 million and 6 million.

RURAL
FLIGHT
Rural flight (or rural exodus) is the migratory pattern of
peoples from rural areas into urban areas. It is urbanization
seen from the rural perspective.
In modern times, it often occurs in a region following the
industrialization of agriculture—when fewer people are needed
to bring the same amount of agricultural output to market—and
related agricultural services and industries are consolidated.
Rural flight is exacerbated when the population decline leads
to the loss of rural services (such as business enterprises
and schools), which leads to greater loss of population as
people leave to seek those features.

HUMAN
MIGRATION
Human migration is the movement by people from one place
to another with the intention of settling temporarily or
permanently in the new location.
The movement is typically over long distances and from one
country to another, but internal migration is also possible.
Migration may be individuals, family units or in large groups.
