Outline of Final Research Achievements

Many of the new generation diaspora minorities got recently opportunities of free migration and free expression. Their modern literature has disclosured the oppressions from inside aud outside to them. We can generally observe their own exertions of geneaological self-traces especially in their internet pages. And there we can see sometimes the intentional rewriting of their genealogies. We confirmed that it is caused not only by the political changes but also by the changes of their identities and the rewritings are influenced by their double bind situations of their identities expressed in their literary works. We confirmed the situations in several diasporas and the self-portraits of the new generations expressed in the literatures of complaint.
