Diaspora Revisited

I can't believe this is our final blog post of the semester! How time flies. 

My question for this week is: 

What "tentative pathways" (242) does Kobena Mercer draw between Stuart Hall's scattered writings on diaspora in A Sociography of Diaspora, and how can the additional voices and scholars that Mercer puts in conversation with Hall's work help us better appreciate the nuances of diaspora as a term? 

a. Is Hall's theorization of diaspora interrupted, supported, or developed by Mercer?
