This text evolved from a two-semester interdisciplinary seminar of the same title, held at the U. of Illinois in 1998 as part of a larger program on the dialectics of expressive cultural practices and transnational social, political, and economic processes; the program continued for three years as part of the Ford Foundation "Crossing Borders" initiative. Ten essays explore the unique abilities of art and artistic practices to create and maintain social identities, the identities underpinning diasporic communities and networks, the effects of diasporic experience on artistic practices and works, and the effects of art on emergent diasporic subjectivities.
