The West Indian Day Parade is taking place in Brooklyn on Labor Day, and attendees will no doubt hear Soca music blasting throughout the day. Soca is an upbeat style of dance music that originated in Trinidad and Tobago. Trini artist Machel Montano is credited with bringing Soca to global popularity, and now the Brooklyn Public Library has organized a new exhibit, 'Machel Montano: Journey of a Soca King,' which is on view through at the Central Library branch through September 12. And on September 3, the library is hosting a screening of the documentary, Like Ah Boss: Journey of a Soca King. Natiba Guy-Clement is the curator and director of special collections at the Center for Brooklyn History and she joins us to discuss the exhibit and the importance of Soca music in Caribbean culture.

Barry Strauss, Part Two: Strauss examines subsequent Jewish rebellions across the Roman Empire, beginning with the coordinated Diaspora Revolt during Trajan's Parthian campaign. The revolt severely disrupted Rome but led to the destruction of Alexandria's large Jewish community. To assert dominance, Emperor Hadrian rebuilt Jerusalem as the pagan city Aelia Capitolina, banning the Jewish temple. This provoked the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132–136 AD) under Simon bar Kokhba. Using asymmetrical guerrilla warfare and tunnels, the rebels fought bitterly before their defeat at Betar. Strauss concludes with the 4th-century Gallus Revolt and 7th-century Sasanian campaign. (3)

During Black August 2026, the Asantehene, Otumfo Osei Tutu II, and Otumfo-Yere Julia Osei Tutu of the Asante People are visiting the United States. Their trip features a Royal Lecture at Howard University and an Akwasidae Festival at Bowie State University, bracketed by a major African business summit. This historic visit highlights a foundational truth: Global African solidarity and belonging must anchor self-determination to drive local, regional, and global advancement. This journey happens during a time of deep global political friction. As the old Age of European Expansion rapidly deteriorates, powerful nations scramble to renegotiate global arrangements. Meanwhile, political figures in the U.S. fetishize authoritarian leadership and try to destabilize existing political and economic orders. Domestic US communities also struggle to claim collective authority and protect explicit individual rights within a destabilizing US legal system. In grappling with relationships between Governance formations and the Social Structures which hold them together, the Asante delegation raises questions of Governance, where authority is informed by the Cultural Meaning-Making that recognizes relationships between memory and vision, the protective custodianship of Ancestral continuity represented by the Golden Stool, and the living assent of the people in renewed and new Governance formations. As corporate lawfare and a compromised SCOTUS threaten US domestic stability, and neoliberal frameworks continue to buffet the modern university, this week we raise questions of structural autonomy, from the protocols of the Asante to the "jailbreaking" of the Black University, and ask several questions: What does it mean to truly govern with the people's assent? How do we reclaim authority when structures built to rule us teeter? What happens when people withdraw their authority? How do we strengthen our global ties for mutual benefit?Are you a member of Knarrative? If not, we invite you to join our community today by signing up at: https://www.knarrative.com.

Hidden dynamics of anti-colonialism come to light when exploring the Syrian revolt of 1925 through a transnational lens. Associate Professor & Author Reem Bailony shares insights from her book, examining how the diaspora politics of the Syrian migrant community in the US connected to homeland politics and redefined identity during the French mandate. By centering on the often-overlooked diasporic story and the role of the Arabic press, the conversation unpacks the intense debate around the rebellion's virtues, goals, and shifting meanings. Ultimately, this episode reveals how exiled and migrant figures significantly shaped the international discourse surrounding the modern Middle East.   00:00 Introduction 00:52 Formative Academic Encounters with a Milestone Year 04:36 From Imperial Collapse to the Partitioning of a Region 07:30 Fragmented Visions & the Contested Landscape of Identity 10:08 Archival Discoveries & Cross-Generational Reflections 12:34 The Global Power of a Dispersed Press 16:13 The Mechanics of Petitioning an International Order 20:12 Ideological Divides in the Early Arabic Press 22:26 Mapping the Global Hubs of the Transnational Story 24:28 Borderland Crises & the Politics of Transnational Aid 28:32 The Realities of Local Support 33:35 De Facto Diplomacy & the Pen of an Exile 36:34 Petitions, Surveillance, & the Struggle to Define a Diaspora 46:44 Recommended Readings for Closer Investigation   Reem Bailony is an Associate Professor of History at Agnes Scott College.

For Fanta Toure, community-led crisis response efforts like mutual aid are not an emergent movement as some in the international aid system see it, but rather a return "to the way things are supposed to be". Toure, along with Hajooj Kuka of Sudan's emergency response rooms (ERRs) and Bashair Ahmed of Shabaka, joined co-host Christina Bennett to discuss the diversity of grassroots aid efforts, and to challenge the formal humanitarian system to adopt a more humble and supportive position towards locally-led action "What the system can do is to move from leading by default to actually supporting by design," says Ahmed, who points out that diaspora remittances dwarf foreign investment and international aid combined.  Kuka, meanwhile, offers a picture of a lifesaving network of volunteers who lean on flexibility, solidarity, and even joy to keep each other alive.  "What the ERRs did is showing that if the system collapses, we'll be okay," says Kuka. "The system is not what's holding us together; it's our humanity."

For some 50 years, Leo Sarkisian was a worldwide staple on the overseas radio broadcast of Voice of America. A talented musician, raised in the Armenian community around Boston, Leo began traveling the world with his Nagra tape recorder and microphones for Tempo International, a Hollywood record label. His intrepid work in remote corners of Afghanistan and in newly independent Ghana and Guinea won him the attention of Edward R. Murrow, then at VOA. So began Leo's epic career as a documenter, archivist and popularizer of African music. He once said he had worked in every African country but one. In recognition of his passing in June, 2018, we revisit Leo's rich, fascinating conversation and music-sharing session with our own Georges Collinet. Expect lively exchanges between two radio icons, and some rare audio, including Leo's 1965 recording of Fela Kuti during his jazz years. Produced by Sean Barlow and Banning Eyre APWW #783

Elena Burger is joined by a16z's Angela Strange and Gabriel Vasquez to discuss the rise of the "borderless founder": entrepreneurs who bring the networks and insights of their home markets together with the talent, capital, and speed of Silicon Valley to build global companies. Angela and Gabriel trace how a16z's international investing efforts grew from early work in Latin America into a broader global network, and why AI has accelerated the flow of founders and talent between Silicon Valley and startup ecosystems around the world. They explore the advantages borderless founders can bring, from differentiated talent networks and early customers to strong local brands and communities that help open doors across markets. They also discuss how founder diasporas can function like powerful alumni networks, why spending time in Silicon Valley can help founders recalibrate around speed and ambition, and how the next generation of global companies may increasingly be built across multiple countries from day one.   Resources: Read Angela Strange and Gabriel Vasquez's piece on Borderless Founders: https://www.a16z.news/p/rise-of-the-borderless-founder Follow Angela Strange on X: https://x.com/astrange Follow Gabriel Vasquez on X: https://x.com/GEVS94 Follow Elena Burger on X: https://x.com/VirtualElena   Stay Updated:Find a16z on YouTube: YouTubeFind a16z on XFind a16z on LinkedInListen to the a16z Show on SpotifyListen to the a16z Show on Apple PodcastsFollow our host: https://twitter.com/eriktorenberg Please note that the content here is for informational purposes only; should NOT be taken as legal, business, tax, or investment advice or be used to evaluate any investment or security; and is not directed at any investors or potential investors in any a16z fund. a16z and its affiliates may maintain investments in the companies discussed.

Au Québec, province francophone du Canada, ils sont plus de 160 000 aujourd'hui à pouvoir retracer leurs origines jusqu'aux Caraïbes et à la République d'Haïti. L'immigration haïtienne au Québec est ancienne. Entretien avec Samuel Pierre, professeur titulaire à Polytechnique Montréal, auteur du livre Ces Québécois venus d'Haïti. RFI : À quand remontent les premiers mouvements d'Haïtiens en direction du Québec ? Samuel Pierre :Tout a commencé vers les années 1930, quelques Haïtiens venaient au Québec pour faire des études avec dans l'esprit de se former et ensuite de retourner au pays, mettre leurs compétences au service du pays. Et puis à partir de 1957, avec l'arrivée au pouvoir de François Duvalier, le président dictateur, de plus en plus d'intellectuels, se sentant menacés, ont choisi de se rendre au Québec et ailleurs. Ils espéraient revenir une fois la tempête passée mais ce ne fut pas le cas puisque la dictature a duré jusqu'en 1985. Entre-temps, il s'est constitué une diaspora haïtienne qui a été alimentée par vagues successives au fur et à mesure que la répression a sévi au pays. Ces Haïtiens ont investi et se sont investis au Québec. Est-ce que ces différentes vagues d'immigration correspondent à différents profils sociologiques professionnels ? Cette deuxième vague d'immigration qui a fui les Duvalier était essentiellement constituée d'intellectuels : des médecins, des ingénieurs, des infirmières, des avocats et beaucoup d'éducateurs. On a vu des promotions entières de personnes venant de l'École normale supérieure qui prenaient l'avion d'Haïti pour venir s'installer au Québec. C'était la période des indépendances et beaucoup ont aussi pris la direction de l'Afrique : dans ce qu'on appelait alors le Zaïre, au Sénégal, au Bénin, il y avait un peu partout des Haïtiens qui étaient partis pour prêter main-forte. Ensuite, à partir du début des années 1970, une nouvelle vague d'immigrés haïtiens est arrivée au Québec. Cette fois elle n'était pas seulement constituée d'intellectuels et de professionnels de haut niveau, mais d'un peu tout le monde. Les Haïtiens fuyaient la dictature mais ils partaient surtout pour des raisons économiques. Ensuite il y a eu une troisième vague au moment du tremblement de terre de 2010 et aujourd'hui, on voit arriver des personnes qui ne peuvent pas vivre en Haïti pour des raisons de sécurité, et ils sont de toutes les couches sociales. Qu'est-ce qui explique ces liens aussi forts entre Haïti et le Québec ? D'abord, nous sommes liés par la langue, le Québec étant une province francophone comme Haïti. Ensuite, la religion a joué un rôle en arrière-plan. Quand l'Église catholique a commencé à perdre pied au Québec dans les années 1960, de nombreux religieux, des prêtres, des sœurs et des frères se sont tournés vers Haïti pour renforcer le système éducatif. Cela a permis d'établir des liens entre Haïti et le Québec. Et puis avec le temps des liens d'amitié se sont établis entre les deux peuples. Vous expliquez aussi que les Haïtiens ont largement contribué à ce qu'on a appelé « la révolution tranquille », la transformation et la modernisation du Québec dans les années 1960. Oui, la Révolution tranquille a énormément bénéficié de la présence d'enseignants haïtiens à un moment où ils n'avaient pas les capacités humaines de former la population. En formant les personnes, en permettant qu'il y ait plus d'écoles qui se créent dans toutes les régions, les Haïtiens se sont retrouvés en première ligne de cette révolution. Cela a créé une force économique parce que les personnes devenaient plus formées, donc plus aptes à transformer l'économie québécoise. Nous avons fait exactement la même chose dans le domaine de la santé. Le Québec avait besoin de médecins, et ça prend du temps et de l'argent pour les former, or il y en avait tout formé qui sont venus d'Haïti et qui ont aidé à démarrer la machine. Cette intégration n'a pas été sans heurts. En 1982, il y a eu ce qu'on a appelé « l'affaire des taxis haïtiens » : sous prétexte d'améliorer la qualité du service, l'aéroport de Dorval à Montréal impose aux chauffeurs de taxis qui y exercent de s'acquitter d'un permis de 1 200 dollars canadiens par an. Résultat, alors que 90 % des chauffeurs de taxis étaient noirs (et pour beaucoup Haïtiens), ils ne sont plus que 3 % après cette mesure… D'abord, c'est une industrie où les Haïtiens étaient très présents. Nous sommes dans une société multiethnique, donc ça ne s'est pas fait sans tensions. Souvent avec les structures étatiques et d'autres fois avec la société en elle-même. Mais ils ont profité de cette situation malheureuse pour s'organiser en syndicats et en regroupements d'associations de chauffeurs de taxis pour faire face. Et dans la plupart des cas, ils ont eu gain de cause. Il y a eu des transformations positives dans ce secteur grâce à leur intervention. Et ça aussi, c'est une contribution à la société. Plus près de nous, la diaspora haïtienne a aussi joué un rôle clé pendant la pandémie de Covid-19… Oui, beaucoup d'Haïtiens qui étaient venus, quelquefois même illégalement au Canada et au Québec étaient en première ligne pour protéger, voire participer au traitement des personnes victimes de Covid au Québec. À un moment où des personnes mourraient dans la société, où tout le monde avait peur d'abord d'être en contact avec des personnes atteintes de Covid ces Haïtiens ont risqué leur vie pour leur communauté d'accueil. D'une certaine manière, ils ont été récompensés par le gouvernement du Québec en légalisant leur situation. Comment qualifieriez-vous la place de la communauté haïtienne dans la société et l'économie du Québec contemporain ? On les retrouve dans toutes les sphères d'activités économiques. Certains ont monté des petits commerces, d'autres des cabinets de médecins. Pour faire face aux difficultés d'accès au marché du travail, beaucoup ont créé leur propre entreprise. Mais ce n'est pas à sens unique. Il y a des personnes qui sont au Québec mais qui investissent aussi en Haïti dans l'éducation, la santé et le développement économique.

Pulse of Israel usually is focued solely on Israel, but this about a non-Israel location has a deep connection to Israel and our Jewish story today.In this special episode of Pulse of Israel, Avi Abelow takes you on a journey through the breathtaking walled city of Dubrovnik, Croatia, revealing how a vacation became a powerful reminder of the miracle of modern Israel and why every Jew should appreciate the unique generation in which we live.Beyond the stunning medieval walls, crystal-clear Adriatic Sea, sunset kayaking, hidden swimming coves, and one of Europe's most beautiful historic cities lies a remarkable Jewish story spanning nearly 2,000 years. Avi learned how Jewish merchants from the Roman Empire and later Sephardic exiles from Spain and Portugal helped transform Dubrovnik into one of the Mediterranean's greatest commercial centers, connecting Jewish communities across Europe, North Africa, and the Ottoman Empire.He visited one of Europe's oldest Sephardic synagogues and learned about the vibrant Jewish community that once flourished there before being nearly destroyed during the Holocaust under the brutal Ustaše regime. Today, only a handful of Jews remain, yet their story carries an important lesson for every Jew alive today.Walking those ancient streets, one realization became impossible to ignore. For almost two thousand years our ancestors ended every Passover Seder and Yom Kippur with the words, "Next year in Jerusalem." They dreamed. They prayed. They waited.We don't have to. Jerusalem is rebuilt. Israel exists. Making aliyah no longer requires a miracle, it simply requires making the decision to come home.As Jew-hating antisemitism rises across much of Western Europe and the growing red-green alliance increasingly threatens Jewish communities throughout the Diaspora, this video's message is not one of fear, but of opportunity.

C'est au début des années 2000 que l'Afrique de l'Ouest voit une nouvelle migration en provenance de Chine s'établir dans quelques pays (Sénégal, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroun, Ghana). Parmi eux, on distingue deux types de migrants. Il y a d'abord ces Chinois venus dans le cadre de grands projets de construction d'infrastructures régis par des partenariats entre la Chine et les pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Et puis il y a ceux qui émigrent par leurs propres moyens et qui cherchent des opportunités de faire des affaires dans des pays africains. C'est à ces derniers que nous nous intéressons ici avec le sinologue Antoine Kernen, spécialiste des relations Chine-Afrique. Plusieurs dizaines de milliers de migrants chinois exercent leur activité commerciale dans des pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest. La plupart s'installent dans les grandes villes et les capitales. Une part importante de ces commerçants chinois est originaire des régions de l'est de la Chine, explique Antoine Kernen, sinologue et professeur à la faculté de sciences sociales et politiques de l'université de Lausanne en Suisse. « Il y a une proportion de personnes qui viennent de ces régions très dynamiques de la côte chinoise, donc Zhejiang et Fujian. Donc ce ne sont pas des gens qui viennent des régions les plus pauvres de Chine, c'est vraiment des gens qui sont portés par le dynamisme économique de ces régions côtières qui produisent des biens manufacturés pour la Chine, pour l'étranger. Et si on veut, l'Afrique devient une nouvelle frontière, finalement un nouvel endroit où on peut tenter d'aller vendre ces produits qu'on manufacture dans ces provinces côtières ». À leurs débuts, ces commerçants chinois se sont d'abord tournés vers la vente de produits bon marché pour toucher une plus large partie de la population africaine, mais aujourd'hui leur activité évolue. « Progressivement, on a aussi maintenant effectivement des produits beaucoup plus sophistiqués qui arrivent sur le marché. Les motos, ça fait un moment, les climatisations, ça fait un moment, tout le gros électroménager peut être chinois, il y a d'autres offres, mais globalement, l'arrivée des produits chinois a entraîné une certaine démocratisation de l'accès à certains biens. On voit que le coût effectivement de ces produits, qui était réservé auparavant vraiment à une élite, se sont démocratisés parmi, en gros, la classe moyenne urbaine des pays de l'Afrique de l'Ouest ». Des commerçants chinois qui diversifient leurs activités Autre phénomène comme au Cameroun : face à la concurrence des petits commerçants locaux et des grandes chaînes de distribution chinoises, les migrants investisseurs chinois diversifient leurs activités. « Donc on voit ces mêmes personnes, c'est pour ça que ce terme d'investisseurs est assez bon, finalement, qui réinvestissent dans d'autres domaines, qui vont décider finalement de créer des restaurants, mais pas forcément des restaurants chinois. Il y a des chaînes de fast food au Cameroun maintenant qui sont tenues par des Chinois. Des petites industries chinoises se développent aussi maintenant dans la périphérie de Yaoundé, Douala, ce qui montre bien qu'on est quand même dans une temporalité qui est plus longue. On n'est plus simplement à écouler son container de produits chinois et de se dire "bon, la prochaine fois, je reviens pas" ». Ces dernières années, il n'y a pas eu d'augmentation importante de migrants chinois venus s'installer pour investir dans le commerce dans les pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest. Toutefois, le sinologue Antoine Kernen a, lui, constaté une légère augmentation de Chinois expatriés au Cameroun. Ces derniers ont un profil différent des migrants investisseurs puisqu'ils viennent dans les pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest pour travailler dans des entreprises chinoises déjà implantées sur place.

Sur notre série d'été sur les diasporas commerçantes, RFI part à la rencontre des esthéticiennes ukrainiennes à Paris. Les salons de beauté tenus par des réfugiées ukrainiennes ont fleuri dans la capitale française. Et ça depuis le début de l'invasion russe à grande échelle il y a quatre ans. Environ 50 000 Ukrainiens sont réfugiés en France et beaucoup sont des femmes : la plupart des hommes ne peuvent pas quitter leur pays, étant mobilisables pour le front. Parmi ces femmes ukrainiennes, beaucoup sont esthéticiennes, car le secteur de la beauté est très développé en Ukraine. On parle ici de salons de beauté où on se fait les ongles, où on prend soin de ses sourcils, où on se maquille. Tout ça, c'est une véritable industrie en Ukraine. Un savoir-faire même, que les réfugiées ukrainiennes importent en France. Pour comprendre le phénomène, nous sommes allés à la rencontre d'Alina. « Je suis arrivée l'année de la guerre en mars 2022. » Alina travaille dans un salon de beauté dans le chic VIIe arrondissement de la capitale avec trois autres Ukrainiennes. Et à son arrivée, cela n'a pas été compliqué de se faire une place. « Il y avait beaucoup de compétition en Ukraine. En comparaison, à Paris, il y en a beaucoup moins. Je pense que c'est pour ça que ça a été plus simple pour moi de m'installer ici. » Un établissement de soin et de conseils Il faut dire qu'à la clientèle française s'ajoutent aussi les autres réfugiées ukrainiennes. Aujourd'hui c'est Taïa, qui est arrivée d'Odessa il y a huit mois. Elle vient se faire épiler les sourcils. Car en dehors des soins esthétiques, c'est un lieu de soutien. « On peut aussi demander de l'aide. On peut aussi poser des questions à propos des démarches administratives. Pour moi, c'est important d'échanger et de se nourrir de l'expérience des autres. Par exemple, Alina, elle habite ici depuis quatre ans, bien plus que moi. Alors elle a plus d'expérience et elle peut alors répondre aux questions qui sont pertinentes pour moi. » Ironie de l'histoire : la propriétaire de ce salon est russe. Elle a vécu une large partie de sa vie en Ukraine. Aujourd'hui Bella Labègue est fière d'accueillir trois réfugiées ukrainiennes. « Absolument. Et surtout qu'ici, c'est la paix. Et je veux dire que la beauté sauve le monde. On ne s'ennuie pas ici, lâche-t-elle d'une voix émue. C'est ma petite mission, vous voyez ? » La quête de la paix par la beauté.

Toute cette semaine Aujourd'hui l'économie vous propose de partir à la rencontre des diasporas commerçantes. Mardi 11 août, on vous raconte l'histoire d'une communauté discrète mais essentielle à l'économie ougandaise : les Indo-Ougandais. Leur population est aujourd'hui estimée à environ 35 000 personnes. « Vous venez d'Ouganda ? » demande un interlocuteur surpris. « Oui. Ma famille a été expulsée en 1972. Ils sont devenus des réfugiés à Londres et après la chute d'Idi Amin Dada, ils sont revenus en Ouganda », explique celui qui est devenu l'un des visages politiques les plus connus des États-Unis. Mais avant de devenir maire de New York, Zohran Mamdani a connu Kampala, où il est né. Son père, Mahmood Mamdani, est une figure locale de la diaspora indienne du pays. C'est au XIXe siècle qu'une importante communauté indienne s'est installée sur les terres de ce qui allait devenir l'Ouganda. Une installation liée aux perspectives de contrat de travail proposées par le colonisateur britannique. Beaucoup d'immigrés indiens sont alors à la recherche d'un meilleur avenir, comme le rappelle l'historien Gérard Prunier. « Une plaisanterie anglaise est de dire : "l'Afrique de l'Est, c'est l'Amérique de l'Indien", c'est-à-dire ils viennent là comme les Italiens vont en Argentine. » La réussite économique de la communauté suscite jalousie Ces nouveaux arrivants vont s'installer dans des villes, mais aussi et surtout dans les campagnes parfois reculées, ouvrant de petits commerces. Une communauté, les « Dukawalla », qui va créer un véritable tissu économique. La diaspora s'organise aussi autour de grandes familles, comme l'explique la chercheuse Sandrine Perrot du Centre international de recherches de Sciences Po. « Les grandes familles qui ont construit aussi toute l'agriculture d'exportation autour, notamment avec des grosses exploitations. On parle vraiment de familles installées depuis très longtemps. » Et cette réussite économique dont parle Sandrine Perrot ne va pas sans susciter de jalousie avec, dans les années 1940-1950, les premières manifestations et boycotts de magasins indiens. Les manifestants dénoncent leur suprématie économique. Mais le point de rupture intervient des années plus tard en 1972, l'expulsion de toutes les populations asiatiques d'Ouganda est ordonnée par Idi Amin Dada, qui a pris le pouvoir par la force. Dans un extrait de ses discours, il dit : « C'est vrai, ils sont restés à l'écart, au sein d'une communauté fermée. Ils ont bridé l'économie du pays. » « La diaspora indienne présente en Ouganda contribuerait à 60 % du PNB » En l'espace de trois mois, l'Ouganda perd de très nombreux commerçants, des membres de l'administration publique, de l'industrie. L'économie ougandaise plonge dans la crise, désormais déconnectée de tous ses réseaux d'import-export que la diaspora avait tissés. Il faudra attendre 1986 pour que Yoweri Museveni, prenant les rênes de l'Ouganda, incite ses communautés à revenir au pays. Un retour s'opère petit à petit via un système de compensation. Depuis, Yoweri Museveni s'est appuyé sur cette diaspora qui a continué d'avoir un poids essentiel dans l'économie ougandaise, comme l'explique la chercheuse Sandrine Perrot. « La diaspora indienne présente en Ouganda contribuerait à 60 % du PNB. On a encore des figures de millionnaires, multimillionnaires et qui sont très proches des premiers cercles du pouvoir et qui ont bâti vraiment des empires. » Reste aujourd'hui la question de la reconnaissance officielle. Pour être citoyens ougandais, il faut appartenir à l'une des ethnies dites indigènes inscrites dans la Constitution. Au Kenya, les Kényans d'origine asiatique ont obtenu en 2017 la reconnaissance officielle de leur statut de 44ᵉ tribu du pays.

Toute cette semaine, Aujourd'hui l'économie vous propose de partir à la rencontre des diasporas commerçantes. Ce matin, on vous raconte l'histoire d'une communauté qui a une présence plus importante à l'étranger que dans son propre pays. Il s'agit de la diaspora libanaise. Sa capacité d'adaptation et d'intégration, mais aussi ses pratiques commerciales jamais vues auparavant, ont redessiné le paysage économique de certains pays et notamment celui du Brésil. Ils sont entre 7 et 10 millions de Libanais ou de descendants de migrants libanais au Brésil. C'est le pays qui abrite la plus grande diaspora libanaise au monde. Au cœur du vieux São Paulo encore aujourd'hui, dans la Rua 25 de Março, les échoppes portent les signes de cette présence. C'est autour de cette artère commerçante que des milliers d'habitants de ce qui n'était encore qu'une province de l'Empire ottoman sont arrivés au début du XXᵉ siècle avec quelques ballots de tissus. Jeffrey Lester est professeur d'histoire de l'Amérique latine à l'université Emory d'Atlanta et l'auteur de plusieurs livres sur l'immigration au Brésil.  « Lorsque les habitants du Moyen-Orient arrivent au Brésil, le Liban ou la Syrie n'existaient pas encore. Ce sont des sujets de l'Empire ottoman. C'est pourquoi, entre historiens, nous ne parlons pas de l'arrivée des Libanais au Brésil, mais des habitants du Moyen-Orient. Les premières migrations importantes commencent dans les années 1880. À l'époque, l'Empire ottoman est en train de se déliter et le Brésil est alors un pays en pleine transformation : l'esclavage est sur le point d'être aboli, les villes grandissent rapidement et l'économie se développe. Il existe de nombreuses opportunités commerciales. Contrairement aux États-Unis, où les préjugés contre les immigrés de pays arabes apparaissent très tôt, le Brésil leur est largement ouvert. Cette diaspora arrive aussi au bon moment : le Brésil passe d'une économie rurale à une économie urbaine et industrielle et c'est une terre d'opportunités économiques. » À lire aussiLes diasporas libanaises à travers le monde Les Libanais au Brésil « ont fini par contrôler tout le réseau de distribution » Ces immigrés ottomans sont d'abord des colporteurs. Ils vont de ville en ville pour vendre toutes sortes de marchandises. « Un des secteurs de l'économie qui était tout nouveau, c'est la distribution. Les Brésiliens, même les plus pauvres, avaient un peu plus d'argent à dépenser qu'avant, et ils voulaient consommer. Mais il n'y avait pas beaucoup de vendeurs ambulants. Et comme les gens du Moyen-Orient fonctionnaient souvent en réseaux, basés sur la famille et sur des liens de communauté, ils ont fini par contrôler tout le réseau de distribution. Un autre élément important, c'est l'introduction d'une nouvelle méthode de paiement : à crédit. C'était une pratique quasiment inconnue au Brésil au XIXe siècle », explique Jeffrey Lester. Ces pratiques donneront naissance aux banques et aux organismes de prêt au Brésil, où la communauté libanaise est aujourd'hui encore très présente. Autre domaine où cette diaspora se distingue, la politique : les descendants d'immigrés libanais représentent aujourd'hui 10 % du Congrès brésilien et l'ancien président Michel Temer sera le premier fils de la diaspora libanaise au Brésil à occuper la fonction suprême, étant président par intérim de 2016 à 2018.

Lara Krinsky opens this IDF Live briefing by introducing Jonny Daniels—activist, social media journalist, former senior advisor to Israel's Deputy Minister of Defense, and founder of From the Depths—as a trusted voice helping audiences separate facts from noise during a fast-moving war. Daniels begins by stressing his personal connection to the IDF as a former paratrooper and says the region is in a waiting period, with Iran under heavy economic pressure even if the expected kinetic action has not yet materialized. On Gaza, he is skeptical that any “Board of Peace” arrangement will truly resolve the Hamas problem, arguing that Hamas may play for time or tactical advantage but that no Israeli government will allow it to return to its pre–October 7 position. He also warns audiences to be careful in the information space, saying misinformation spreads from anti-Israel sources and even irresponsible Jewish outlets, and that people should rely on verified sources rather than doom-scrolling or chasing unconfirmed reports. Looking at the Diaspora, Daniels says Jews around the world are facing more fear and antisemitism, including in the UK, France, Canada, and Australia, but he also sees many becoming more willing to speak up publicly for Israel. He closes by describing IDF morale as very high because Israelis are literally fighting for their homeland, while emphasizing that prolonged war still takes a psychological toll and that FIDF's support for soldiers' well-being, PTSD care, rehabilitation, and families is essential.

In this episode of the New Books Network, I speak with Rabbi Dr. Donniel Hartman about his book Who Are the Jews and Who Can We Become? (Jewish Publication Society, 2023), the 2023 National Jewish Book Award Finalist in Modern Jewish Thought and Experience. Hartman is president of the Shalom Hartman Institute and holds the Kaufman Family Chair in Jewish Philosophy. His work has consistently addressed what constitutes Jewish peoplehood across a landscape of internal difference. Hartman's central argument distinguishes between the Genesis covenant and the Exodus covenant. The Genesis covenant is a covenant of belonging: membership in the Jewish people that obtains by birth or by formal entry into the community, independent of belief or practice. The Exodus covenant, by contrast, is a covenant of aspiration, calling the people toward holiness, ethical development, and spiritual growth. Where the first establishes identity, the second establishes obligation. In our discussion, Hartman emphasized that the Genesis covenant requires each community, and each individual, to relinquish the presumption of controlling a singular, authoritative account of the Jewish story. Read together, the two covenants do not divide the Jewish people into separate camps so much as describe the full shape of Jewish belonging: one covenant that secures the people as a people, and a second that gives that peoplehood its ongoing direction and purpose. Jewishness, on this account, transcends denominational boundaries—Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, secular, and otherwise—even as each tradition supplies its own particular mode of enacting the Exodus covenant's demand for growth. Hartman situated this framework within a longer pattern in Jewish intellectual history: the recurring effort to locate an essential core beneath the full body of commandments, exemplified by Hillel's reduction of the Torah to a single ethical principle. This tendency toward distillation, he argued, helps explain how communities as historically and culturally distinct as Yemenite, Ashkenazi, Sephardic, and secular Israeli Jews continue to recognize one another as belonging to a single people, notwithstanding significant divergence in practice. Shared calendar and shared collective memory, in his formulation, do more to sustain peoplehood than uniformity of observance. The conversation turned to the relationship between Jewish identity and the State of Israel. Hartman located Zionism itself within the Genesis covenant: attachment to the Jewish people's return to and sovereignty in the land of Israel is, on his account, a constitutive part of Jewish family and belonging, not a separate or optional commitment layered on top of it. Hartman further addressed the changing status of intermarriage, noting a shift from its historical treatment as a violation of the Genesis covenant toward broader acceptance, particularly in Diaspora communities. He observed that a substantial proportion of Jewish spouses in intermarriages maintain Jewish identity, practice, and communal affiliation, complicating any straightforward inference from rising intermarriage rates to communal decline. Jewish continuity, on this account, is proving more resilient, and more complex, than earlier demographic anxieties assumed. The conversation closed on the question of how Exodus Judaism—a Judaism oriented toward aspiration, self-criticism, and moral striving—can be sustained in a period marked by contested facts and by the anti-Zionism as antisemitism seen around the world. Hartman offered no definitive resolution, but argued for the continued value of engaging the argument itself: treating the Genesis covenant as the foundation that preserves collective belonging, and the Exodus covenant as the ongoing rationale for what that belonging is for.

In this episode of Baltic Ways, recorded on the sidelines of the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies (AABS) conference at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, host Indra Ekmanis speaks with Inta Mieriņa, a political sociologist and director of the Center for Diaspora and Migration Research at the University of Latvia. Dr. Mieriņa discusses her path to being awarded a prestigious European Research Council grant and unpacks her new project comparing how European societies received Ukrainian refugees. The conversation also traces her groundbreaking work surveying the Latvian diaspora, from a landmark 14,000-person study to plans for a permanent diaspora consultation panel that could give emigrant communities a stronger voice in policymaking.Baltic Ways is a podcast from the Association for the Advancement of Baltic Studies, produced in partnership with the Baltic Initiative at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.

Face à des assemblées composées en grande partie de fidèles issus des diasporas africaines, elles prêchent et prophétisent. C'est une évolution qui bouscule les codes d'un monde religieux longtemps dominé par les hommes. Tom Schneider est allé dans ces églises évangéliques animées, où la foi se décline de plus en plus au féminin. Dans un petit local préfabriqué d'une zone industrielle de Bussy-Saint-Georges, commune de Seine-et-Marne en région parisienne, Grace Babela officie le culte au Centre évangélique de Paris. Elle est pasteure et prophétesse depuis 2021 et donne de sa voix pendant plus d'une heure et demie. Robe blanche argentée et micro en main, elle prêche au milieu des chaises dorées et des quelques dizaines de fidèles réunis ce jour-là. Son église est fortement fréquentée par les diasporas africaines. Bien que les églises de réveil permettent aux femmes de devenir pasteures, Grace a tout de même fait face à certains préjugés sexistes. « Je suis un blasphème pour certains chrétiens. Il y a des personnes, même au sein des églises évangéliques, qui estiment que la femme ne devrait pas "prendre autorité sur des hommes". Parce qu'ils estiment qu'une femme qui prêche sur le pupitre et qui enseigne la parole dans une assemblée où il y a des hommes et des femmes, c'est comme si elle prend autorité sur les hommes. Beaucoup ne l'acceptent pas encore, en 2026 », regrette-t-elle. La chercheuse en sociologie Sarah Demart écrivait, dans un article publié en 2017, que les femmes sont de véritables piliers de ces économies religieuses, notamment par leur insistance à convertir les hommes. Fanny fréquente les églises de réveil depuis quatre ans, et depuis quelques mois, elle vient avec son mari : « J'ai réussi à l'emmener. Au début, il ne voulait pas du tout venir justement parce que c'était animé par des femmes. Une fois que je l'ai traîné, ça lui a beaucoup parlé. Maintenant, on y va ensemble et il aime beaucoup. » Ce que Fanny apprécie, c'est la proximité qu'elle ressent avec les femmes qui officient le culte. « Cela me touche plus. Elle parle avec le cœur de ce que tu vis. Elle me parle de mon quotidien. J'ai l'impression qu'elle m'aide aussi à comprendre mes problèmes et comment les résoudre. Pour moi, c'est une autre approche, moins dogmatique », explique-t-elle. Suivies par plusieurs dizaines de milliers de personnes sur les réseaux sociaux, leur influence dépasse la sphère religieuse. Elles prodiguent conseils patrimonial, professionnel et financier. Naviguant entre les continents, certaines sont ainsi devenues de véritables célébrités.

n Jamaica, sound systems are more than just a stack of speakers blasting the latest tunes to an eager crowd. Over the last 70 years, they have come to represent the most common way that Jamaicans experience music. Sound systems have touched all levels of society in Jamaica, determining the island's popular taste and profoundly influencing the daily lives of its citizenry. This program explores the evolution of sound system culture, from the Jamaican genesis of the 1940s to its gradual impact on diaspora communities, and ultimately, its undeniable influence on the popular culture of nations overseas. Produced by David Katz and Saxon Baird. APWW #758

Tadhana Joy, a Filipino American TTRPG writer, fiction author, poet, and Actual Play performer, joins Asians Represent to talk about Barkadan: City of Noise and Plenty, a survival horror and high fantasy tabletop RPG inspired by the culture of the Philippines and the Filipino-American experience. Instead of creating a direct fantasy interpretation of Filipino folklore and mythology, Tadhana built Barkadan from her own family's real history. Their family's stories and experiences became the city's gods, demons, and antagonists. We dig into why she made that choice, how co-creator Jesse's Legacy and Saga system uses a mechanic called "swing" to build shared narratives, and how reputation and community mechanics tie every player's story together.

Originally published as a series of novellas in Asimov's Science Fiction before winning the 2006 Locus Award for best novel, Accelerando traces three generations of the Macx family (and one notoriously manipulative AI cat named Aineko) across a high-speed, century-long journey through future history and the looming technological singularity.  We unpack the overwhelming density of Stross's worldbuilding—from cyberpunk edge, BDSM, and KGB-uplifted digital lobsters, to Capitalism 2.0 driven by profit-seeking AI corporations, automated corporate law and self-propagating lawsuits, and personalized advertising that feels eerily prescient today. Discover how Stross redefines the technological singularity through system-wide computing power measured in MIPS, explores consciousness as a predator-prey evolutionary dynamic, and takes us to the edge of the solar system where Matrioshka brains, alien communiqués from brown dwarfs, and beam-riding simulated minds completely rewrite the rules of interstellar travel and resource allocation.  Whether you're curious about the Vile Offspring, nested self-referential autonomous corporations, or Jupiter-orbiting electrodynamic tether generators, this episode breaks down why Accelerando is an essential—and utterly chaotic—masterclass in expert speculative fiction.

The golden age of vinyl records is long past in Africa, but the market for rare and reissued African vinyl outside the continent has been growing steadily since the early 2000s. DJs and collectors have turned an obsession with rare records and forgotten gems from Cape Town to Tangiers into an international reissue and compilation industry, led by record labels such as Soundway, Strut and Analog Africa. This program explores some of the complex and shifting dynamics of neocolonialism, cultural ownership and audience in the African vinyl market. We'll hear stories from label owners, DJs and artists, touching on controversies around Nigerian disco funk reissues, new career opportunities for sometimes-obscure African artists, the unique vinyl culture in South Africa, and much more. Produced by Morgan Greenstreet and Alejandro Van Zandt-Escobar, with Nenim Iwebuke. APWW #749

Air Date: 7/7/2026 Today we use the 2026 World Cup to pull everything that runs under the game up into the light. Nearly a quarter of the players are representing a country other than the one they were born in, praised as national heroes when they score but scorned as foreigners when they lose. The history of colonialism built the machinery that turns immigrants into targets, and the results are playing out live around this year's tournament, in the towns that throw their arms open and the borders that slam shut, in who a country will claim and who it leaves outside.
