Hi Radhika and Enok,

No, it's not just you two; I think it's just that many of the rest of us
are here to listen but haven't much to say.

I am enjoying the closing in on a definition of diaspora that has something
to do with, as you say, an *imagined* past, and interested to see how it
might apply to diasporas other than the Southeast Asian ones (specifically,
I'm not sure it's extensible to the African diaspora, but I'm interested
to see where you go with it.)
