Diaspora Communities and the Maintenance of Transnational Cultural Identities
Quick fact
Many diaspora communities, such as the Indian diaspora, send more than just money back home; they also send 'social remittances'—ideas, norms, and cultural practices that reshape both the homeland and their own communities, creating a two-way flow of cultural influence.
