Asian Diasporas is an intermittently-broadcast forty-minute BBC Radio 4 documentary programme about Asian communities around the world, first transmitted in 2007 with so far three episodes.[1]
The programme has been introduced by Jatinder Verma, "himself a child of the diaspora",[1] who was born in Dar es Salaam and grew up in Kenya and was the first Asian theatre director to direct a play at Britain's National Theatre.
Asian Diasporas broadcast history to date has consisted of Family, which looked at Japanese people in Latin America and elsewhere; Business, which examined Korean family business in the US; and Politics, which focused on Chinese dissident activists in the US and in Europe. All three themes were interwoven into each episode.[1]
The series was produced by Allison Puranik and edited by Maria Balinska.
Use in academia
Parts of the audio of the series have been used to teach English as a second language to students at The Hong Kong University.[2]
The series was also featured as a primary source by James Hevia in a course about immigration at the University of North Carolina.[3]
