Question

I was wondering how does the African diaspora differs from other diasporas?

Answer 1

It doesn't!  A diaspora is a diaspora!  It differs only in that it occurred with another race.  

There is a Polish diaspora happening right now!  They are all disaporing into the United Kingdom!  I don't mean that in a racist or nationalistic way, promise!

Answer 2

This is a guess, but I think it's due to the fact that Africans were taken from Africa in slavery as opposed to the Jewish diaspora, for instance, which was the result of oppression and prejudice, but wasn't forced.

Answer 3

Well to use your examples the African one had the complicity of Africans themselves, that is the African diaspora was only part of a population, sold off/exiled by the ruling population.  On the other hand, the Jewish one was from destruction at the hands of an invading power.

Answer 4

Not much, as most Diaspora's are forced. The Jews were forced from Palestine by the Romans. Many peoples were subject to Diaspora slavery due to conquest.
