Rethinking ‘Babylon’: Iconoclastic conceptions of the diasporic experience

Robin Cohen · 1995

Catalogue summary

Cohen reconsiders diaspora through contrasting histories of coercion, migration, and creative affiliation beyond a homeland. The article explicitly treats Armenians as a victim diaspora while comparing how nationalisms and globalisation reframe diasporic loyalties.

Why this matters

It gives Armenian diaspora research a comparative theoretical frame for distinguishing forced dispersal from other migration histories and for examining changing ties to homelands.
