ABSTRACT
Until recently, gender was treated as an appendix in the field of diaspora studies. As pointed out by Morawska (2011: 1031):
Despite a strong appeal for ‘gendering the diasporas’ more than a decade ago and repeated at the beginning of the new century [. . .] with the exception of occasional references to the patriarchal dominance of men common in diasporic communities, studies of ‘diaspora’ diasporas have remained largely genderless.
