Diaspora tourism and homeland attachment: An exploratory analysis

Huang argues that diaspora is the search of a cultures’ homeland, or at least where they feel to be at home. Searching for a homeland or a place where they belong, people demand a place “to feel connected to their personal heritage” (Huang 285). This article also specifically touches on Asian American immigrants, both first and second generation. There is a difference between someone being in search of ancestral and cultural roots and someone becoming attached to a destination after visiting.

"Research on second-generation diasporic reception practices is rare, and it is the goal of this article to continue the nascent inquiry on multiple-generation diasporic audiences. The complicated ways in which diasporic identity is negotiated allows for greater understanding of the border zones that multiple-generation diasporas inhabit. Fully acculturated but not fully included, second-generation diasporas infuse their identities with meanings drawn in part through reception of transnational popular media and the development of fan communities" (Oh 230).

Second-generation Asian Americans struggle with discovering their diasporic ‘homeland’ and are often forced to choose between their Asian side of their culture and their white American side. Of course, if these second-generation Asian Americans were to travel to their ancestral homeland, their experiences would be affected in a diasporic way, this influencing their views on where they identify culturally. Huang states “as the transnational attachment of second-generation immigrants was not rooted in a specific locale, they could feel connected to the homeland without actually visiting their family’s place of origin” (Huang 1).

"Differential item function analysis revealed no cultural item bias among the retained MEIM items. Korean Americans had higher scores on the Ethnic Identity and Other-Group subscales and were more likely to be classified as bicultural than were Korean Chinese. Korean Chinese were more likely to be classified as assimilated, traditional, or marginalized in their cultural orientation" (Lee 207).
