Help I’m confused, and I don’t know if I’m Reading this correctly
Diaspora
and Trauma were transparent, Ang changes that in this piece by challenging the
reader to see how abstract these connotations are. The Complexity of these terms baffle me, I
can’t grasp these connotations because there is so much put into them. Now
after reading “Beyond Asian Diaspora” Ang complicates my way of understanding
these things. They directly define
Diaspora as “isolation, exile and displacement.” The words are multilayered and
difficult to dissect. The overarching
narrative of diaspora complicates the piece further because he is saying that
these terms are socially constructed. At the same time, he is saying that this
is powerful.
