Diaspora:A study of the Hmongs in USA Characteristics of Diaspora The term diaspora finds its roots in the Greek language and is based on a translation of the Hebrew word, Galut. Based on speiro (to sow) and the preposition dia (over), in the Ancient Greece, the word referred to migration and colonisation. In Hebrew, メthe term initially referred to the setting of colonies of Jews outside Palestine after the Babylonian exile and has assumed a more general connotation of people settled away from their ancestral homelandsモ (Shuval, 2003).3ハIn social sciences, the term diasporas is recent. Before the 80 s, there are only few quotations of this concept. It was due to the fact, as Judith Shuval (2002) underlined, that メbefore the 1960s, immigrant groups were generally expected to shed their ethnic identity and assimilate to local norms. Groups that were thought unable to do this, weren’t admitted, eg. Chines to Canada, non-Whites to Australiaモ. William Safran, one of the first authors to be published in the review Diaspora edited by Kachig Tololyan, suggests that in his view the term diaspora could be consider as a メmetaphoric designationモ and could apply to various populations (expatriates, political refugeesノ). In his essays (1991 & 1999), Safran defines the diasporas as follows: expatriate minority communities: that are dispersed from a original center to at least two peripheral places; 
2. that maintain a memory, vision or myth about their original homeland; 
3.that believe they are not and perhaps cannot be fully accepted by their host country; 
4.that see the ancestral home as a place of eventual return when the time is right;
 5. that are committed to the maintenance or restoration of this homeland, and;
 6. of which the group’s consciousness and solidarity are importantly defined by this continuing relationships with the homeland. Paul Gilroy Cohen (1997a) summarised this current by quoting that in this perspective: diasporas are positioned somewhere between nations-states and travelling cultures in that they involve dwelling in a nation-state in a physical sense, but travelling in an astral or spiritual sense that falls outside the nation-state’s space/time zone.

The nation-state, as Paul Gilroy (1994) described, is the institutional means to terminate diaspora dispersal: on one side, through the assimilation and, on the other side, through return.
