ABSTRACT Diasporic communities, and in particular ethnic-specific associations, are known for offering invaluable support to immigrants. This support may range from the practical (connecting people with jobs and housing), to the emotional (helping people to adapt to their new environment) to the spiritual (providing people with opportunities to practice their faith). While much is known about the role and importance of diasporic communities in assisting immigrants under ordinary circumstances, less is known about the capacity of these communities to mobilise during times of crisis. This paper examines how diasporic communities provided care for South Asian immigrants and international students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Through an analysis of interviews with key stakeholders representing South Asian-focused associations, different levels of government, as well as non-governmental organizations in Ontario, Canada, the paper contributes a deeper understanding of the role of diasporic social capital and the value of this capital during times of acute need.

ABSTRACT This article elucidates the underlying rationales underpinning the significance of the focal subject matter of the special issue. It also furnishes a comprehensive synopsis of the eight individual contributions encompassed within special issue. During periods of crisis, the diasporic communities assume an integral role in navigating and alleviating the repercussions of emergencies. This article meticulously scrutinises the extant body of knowledge pertaining to diaspora involvement in crisis scenarios, whilst accentuating pivotal discoveries and valuable insights. Ultimately, the article culminates by discerning lacunae in knowledge and pinpointing realms warranting further scholarly inquiry. It conspicuously underscores the exigency for empirical investigations that meticulously assess the efficacy of divergent models and interventions concerning diaspora engagement within contexts of crisis.

ABSTRACT India has been identified as one of the most vulnerable countries within the global climate crisis. Kerala has been highlighted as a hotspot of climate vulnerability within India, and this was illustrated by the floods of 2018. Nearly, 500 people lost their lives during the floods and 1.4 million were displaced, with the reconstruction programme still taking place today. Anecdotal andmedia accounts have suggested that the Keralan diaspora played a significant part in the disaster relief and reconstruction effort both during and after the floods. However, there has been very little detailed empirical investigation into this particular diasporic engagement during a time of crisis. Drawing upon original empirical research, this paper will examine the nature and impact of Keralan diasporic engagement during, and after, the 2018 floods, particularly focussing upon whether this was an inclusive relief and development effort across the categories of caste, region and religion within the state.

ABSTRACT South Asian labour migration to the GCC States is a debt-financed migration in which labour diasporas mobilise resources from a variety of sources, often at exorbitant interest rates, to cover migration costs. In the event of the COVID pandemic, job losses and involuntary returns compound the problem of debt-financed migration, affecting the transnational livelihood of migrant families. This paper explores how the debt-financed migration shapes the transnational livelihood of Gulf labour diasporas amid the pandemic. Empirically, this paper draws on the experiences of 60 Gulf migrants from the Indian state of Bihar. This study reports that the families diversify their labour resources by joining Gulf labour market and migration generates remittances that provide improved livelihood for their families. Although unforeseen events such as the pandemic may delay migration episodes and thus mount the debt burden on migrants, migrants nevertheless find ways to join the Gulf labour market and erk out a trananational livelihood.

ABSTRACT Diaspora philanthropy is integral to the development of India and generations of emigrants have made significant contributions to propel the growth of the country. Its intensity was evident during the Kerala floods in 2018 that resulted in numerous fatalities, property damage and displacement of millions of people. The Malayalee Diaspora was integral in rebuilding Kerala by aiding the rescue operations that were happening on the ground through their global network support. A similar outreach was also observed during COVID-19, where in the diaspora also supported stranded migrants in different parts of the world. The article focuses on the nuances of diaspora philanthropic scholarship and how it helped Kerala recover from the floods and COVID-19. Semi-structured in-depth interviews using snowball sampling with migrants, migrant organisations and beneficiaries from diaspora in the understanding of the impact of diaspora philanthropy during times of crisis.
