Diaspora
Manage episode 295397592 series 2492929
Diaspora is a noun that refers to ‘people settled far from their ancestral homeland.’
The Greek prefix D-I-A means ‘across.’ When combined with the Greek word speirein (SPEAR een) meaning ‘scatter,’ you get our word of the day. The word initially referred to Jewish people living outside Israel, but more recently it came to refer to any cultural group of people in a similar situation.
Tanya was looking foreword to meeting others of Russian descent. Having lived her entire life in Japan, she hadn’t had much of an opportunity to connect with the diaspora.
