ABSTRACT

The displacement of individuals has always been an essential aspect of civilisation. The process of migration has helped individuals grow vertically on the social ladder. These migrants struggle relentlessly to construct their identity in the new land. Diaspora studies have become a widely explored and discussed topic among scholars across boundaries. The current article attempts to bring forth valuable diasporic theorists and their ideas under one umbrella to understand the term and its underlying nuances better.

Keywords: Diaspora, Migrants, Postcolonialism, Literary Theory, Boundaries
