Praise for the first edition: 'Cohen's erudition is vast! his interpretations are solid and well informed. By and large one can only marvel at the scope of Cohen's learning and the richness of his vocabulary.' -- Mark J. Miller, University of Delaware, Journal of World History, Fall 1999 'Cohen's book offers a timely overview of diasporas. The book is also engagingly written, with Cohen's personal anecdotes adding zing rather than self-indulgence to the analysis' -- Robert C. Smith, Columbia University, USA, Political Studies Quaterly, Spring 1999 'Reading this book I thought 'Cohen is doing for diaspora what Weber did for religion -- Fran Markowiz, Ben Gurion University USA, American Anthropologist, June 1999 'A succinct but satisfying book! as Cohen convincingly demonstrates here, the diaspora wave is well and truly upon us' -- Sarah Ansari, Royal Holloway College, London, UK, Times Higher Educational Supplement, 6 March 1998
