[edit] Americo-centric

The article as it stands deals mainly with ethnic diasporas in the United States, and the quoted theory is visibly derived from US case studies. The 'homeland' cases are those which are important for US foreign policy, again reflecting a bias in US diaspora studies. In addition, the article takes terms such as diaspora and homeland at face value, whne in fact they are politically disputed enities. A comparison with the Vertriebene would illustrate how little fact there is in such terminology, and how much politics.Paul111 19:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

A solution may be to rename this article "Diaspora politics in the United States" and then start another article on the more general case.

Seems a reasonable option.Paul111 11:25, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
