- W2214458140 abstract "This paper explores the long history of successive transatlantic displacements and returns that have shaped Liberian diasporan identities in order to re-think the central elements that structure diasporicity - a form of identity discourse with increasing currency in the contemporary African context. Liberias history has been one of successive realizations of ideologies of forms of return without any definitive dissolution of diasporic identity. Digging beneath narratives that highlight similarity, longing, and attachment, I consider the neglected centrality of sentiments of abjection and experiences of structural violence in underwriting an identity in which origin is far from fixed but rather continuously re-located so as to critique lived experiences of discontent. Starting with the original back to Africa settlers, this historical analysis highlights how Liberian diasporicities have re-located origin and re-problematized belonging in highly contradictory ways yet always primarily as a marker of socially-selective dispossession rather than merely physical dispersion. Against this historical arc, I hone in on four highly contradictory variations of diasporicity circulating within the current-day Liberian transnational field to underscore how this form of identity is mediated by contextually-specific socio-political conditions racialized experiences; contested along lines of class, gender, and generation; and implicated in multiple political struggles." @default.
