The Postdiaspora Condition

  • 185 Accesses

Abstract

Chapter 4 discusses how crossborder emigrant schooling deploys through the cosmonational bureaucracy, which sustains and accommodates residential diaspora students and students who transition from one site to another and provides employment to metropolitan and diaspora teachers. It does so through various mechanisms and routes: it explores how teachers can be transferred from one locale to another and how transnational interactions between school sites reflect the cosmonational landscape of crossborder emigrant schooling; provides a review of the literature on transnational education and delineates the diverse forms it takes, whether the focus is on content, bureaucracy, or the mobility of students, staff, and teachers; explains the broader logic of cosmonational schooling that prepares students to be successful not only at their place of residence, but also throughout the cosmonational landscape. Finally, the chapter emphasizes that bringing extraterritorial schooling into the orbit of the cosmonation further contributes to the rise and sustenance of the postdiaspora condition.
