Quinsaat sheds new light on the formation of diasporic connections through transnational protests. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e When people migrate and settle in other countries, do they automatically form a diaspora? In \u003ci\u003eInsurgent Communities\u003c\/i\u003e, Sharon M. Quinsaat explains the dynamic process through which a diaspora is strategically constructed. Quinsaat looks to Filipinos in the United States and the Netherlands--examining their resistance against the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos, their mobilization for migrants' rights, and the construction of a collective memory of the Marcos regime--to argue that diasporas emerge through political activism. Social movements provide an essential space for addressing migrants' diverse experiences and relationships with their homeland and its history. A significant contribution to the interdisciplinary field of migration and social movements studies, \u003ci\u003eInsurgent Communities\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates how people develop collective identities in times of social upheaval. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sharon M.
