在持续的利益在动员散居身份的背景下，我认为如何以及为什么散居身份可能会随着时间的推移复员。我使用的情况下，印度巴基斯坦社区在英国和美国（有时被称为“比哈里”），以研究如何在散居的历史记忆的冲突叙述和影响，这对存在或不存在的“散居意识”。记忆在散居和跨国社区中的重要性一直被忽视，特别是在历史事件的叙述方面。遗忘的影响特别少受到关注。我认为，在没有这个故事的情况下，关于历史在社区形成中的作用的重要教训是模糊的。在这个例子中，离散的复员创造的“潜在”的身份，帮助我们解开的二元关系的“家”和“离开”的概念本质主义概念化的核心。
In the context of sustained interest in the mobilization of diasporic identities, I consider how and why diasporic identities might be demobilized over time. I use the case of an Indian Pakistani community in the UK and the USA (sometimes referred to as ‘Bihari’) to examine how historical memories of conflict are narrated in diaspora and the impact this has on the presence or absence of ‘diasporic consciousness'. The significance of memory in diasporic and transnational communities has been neglected, especially where the narration of historical events is concerned. The impact of forgetting has received particularly scant attention. I argue that, in the absence of this story, important lessons about the role of history in the formation of community are obscured. In this example, the ‘latent’ identities created on diaspora's demobilization help us to unpick the dyadic relations of ‘home’ and ‘away’ at the heart of essentialist conceptualizations of the concept.
