ABSTRACT
Thinking diaspora is inconceivable without concatenating the notions of nation, home and identity. Scholars of the humanities have been thinking of, for, from and through diaspora in their own ways, making it difficult to provide reliable theories and conceptualise the multiplicity embedded within and between diasporic subjectivities. Thus, thinking diaspora involves inspecting its rhizomic nature and encouraging its necessary open-endedness. To examine the spatio-temporality, corporeality and scalar dynamics of such shifts, author will turn to Avtar Brah's concept of the imaginary diaspora space and underline its entanglements with the notion of nation. Normative nationalisms and racist phobias stem from this imposed particularity and a proprietary sense of enjoyment of the Nation Thing which, in turn, is considered as the exclusive property of a given group of citizens, community or race.
