Asian Diasporas (radio programme)

Asian Diasporas is an intermittently-broadcast forty minute BBC Radio 4 documentary programme about Asian communities around the world, first transmitted in 2007 and so far consisting of three episodes.

The programme has been introduced by Jatinder Verma, who was born in Dar es Salaam and grew up in Kenya and was the first Asian theatre director to direct a play at Britain's National Theatre.

Asian Diasporas's broadcast history to date consists of "Family" which looked at Japanese people in Latin America and elsewhere; "Business", which examined Korean family business in the USA; and "Politics", which focused on Chinese dissident activists in the USA and Europe.
