Kenyan Diaspora
Diaspora is a term that means “a scattering” in Greek as reference to seeds. The work is also used to refer to the movement of very populated communities of a specific and common ethnic identity. The movement or scattering may either be caused by voluntary reasons or having the entire community forced to leave their very own territories from which they came from and have already settled in. Diaspora is a main cause for people of specific ethicity to become residents in different areas that are quite far from where they were originally from. Diaspora is also common to old nomadic cultures. Diasporic cultural development almost always will assume a very different course compared to that of the population in the original areas where they have settled and taken root. Diaspora also varies depending on one ethicity's culture and traditions, and other factors may also contribute to their transplanting.
Kenyan diaspora is a specific event that pertains to the spreading of Kenyans into many different parts of the world, caused by many different factors. Nowadays Kenyans have organizations and communities that are geared towards recalling and finding lost and transplanted Kenyans in order to preserve their ethnicity. They also aim to chronicle where every Kenyan has gone in order to study and assume its effects on Africa.
