Immigrants, Diasporas and Global Politics

Listen Thursday, Nov. 1, 2007 at 1:06 p.m. in Politics, Society

Every year, immigrants and immigrant diasporas send billions of dollars from the U.S. and other developed economies to the developing world. But cheap airfare and technological advancements are also allowing them to send back ideas about politics, governance, and identity. Kojo explores how immigrant communities are influencing political institutions in their countries of origin.
