Forthcoming Monograph from Library Juice Press

Diasporic communities seeking to find their histories and narratives within libraries are oftentimes confronted with systems of classification incongruent with their own understandings of their histories and lived experiences—in which the narratives of diasporic communities are widely dispersed yet without a singular home that is recognizable by people of their own community. Using an interdisciplinary approach rooted in feminist and critical race theories, indigenous research methods, and the information sciences, this book aims to focus on the problems of inappropriately and inaccurately coding, classifying, and organizing diasporic content in existing library structures and the larger societal implications of such problems such as questions of citizenship and the reproduction of misunderstandings of the diaspora and its communities. Geared toward current and future library workers, information science scholars, and researchers of diasporic communities, the arguments in the book focus on introducing diasporic concepts and applying those concepts to theoretical and situational problems in the organization of knowledge with implications for individuals as well as for the formation of knowledge itself.
