The diaspora in America is a group of people who identify with a country of origin but live outside of it. This includes people who were born in the country, or who identify with its ancestry, race, or ethnicity.

How diasporas form

Migration: People may migrate to a new country for work, trade, or to escape conflict or persecution.

Forced displacement: The term "diaspora" was originally used to describe the forced displacement of certain peoples.

Historical expulsion: Diasporas can be created by historical expulsion and discrimination.

Examples of diasporas in the United States
African Americans, who are descendants of slaves brought to the New World
Egyptian immigrants and their children
