Diaspora isn't tragedy, it is the resiliency and strength of distributed and highly interconnected community.

In a place like the United States I see members of diasporadic communities cope with the perceived tragedy unhealthily. The only healthy way of dealing with it is staying connected to your people wherever they are and wherever you are. Those connections however limited are not something be be sad or ashamed of, they should be cherished.

Lots of good scholarship on this in diaspora studies, but I don't think the core lesson gets spread often enough. A strong diaspora is something to be proud of.
