Sociologist Sharon M. Quinsaat sheds new light on the formation of diasporic connections through transnational protests. When people migrate and settle in other countries, do they automatically form a diaspora? In Insurgent Communities, Sharon M. Quinsaat explains the dynamic process through which a diaspora is strategically constructed. Quinsaat looks to Filipinos in the United States and the Netherlands?examining their resistance against the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos, their mobilization for migrants? rights, and the construction of a collective memory of the Marcos regime?to argue that diasporas emerge through political activism. Social movements provide an essential space for addressing migrants? diverse experiences and relationships with their homeland and its history. A significant contribution to the interdisciplinary field of migration and social movements studies, Insurgent Communities illuminates how people develop collective identities in times of social upheaval.
