An absolute must read for those interested in ethnography,Diaspora, and post modernism.

I don't agree with everything in this book, and the writing can be clunky at times (most sentences could be streamlined, although you won't realize this unless you actively think about it), but it reads well and doesn't pull punches (even if I disagree with some of the punches). Allen says what he wants to say with none of the unnecessary pretense so common to academic writing.

Great ethnographic study of, well, what the title says.
