CEVAP:

William Safran draws up the general framework of an ideal type of diaspora. He defines diaspora as 'expatriate minority communities' (1) that are dispersed from an 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 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 and restoration of this homeland; and (6) of which the group's consciousness and solidarity are importantly defined by this continuing relationship with the homeland.
