Pasura proposes a framework for understanding African diasporas as core, epistemic, dormant and silent diasporas. The book explores the origin, formation and performance of the Zimbabwean transnational diaspora in Britain and examines how the diaspora is constituted in the hostland and how it maintains connections with the homeland.

Dominic Pasura is Research Fellow in the Social Policy Research Centre, School of Law, Middlesex University, UK. His research interests include migration, transnationalism and diaspora studies, integration of migrants and refugees, religion in the New African diaspora and African studies.
