Published at the height of the imperial enterprise, Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) has a long and intricate backstory. It is, in fact, the result of centuries of British discovery of and disappointment with the world. One by one, naturalists, amateur anthropologists, merchants, soldiers, diplomats or missionaries from the British Isles discovered the world for the armchair travelers at home and built up their self-esteem by disfiguring countries and regions in writings, paintings, and lectures at the Royal Geographical Society.

Title: Diasporas, charity and the construction of belonging: a connected history of practices of ‘goodwill’ in Egypt during the imperial age (19th–20th centuries).

Not all migrants are the same, but almost all of them have a reference in their community of origin, a transnational family. It is a way of making a family separated by great physical distances but organised in the constitution of daily life. Like every family, it contains a bundle of obligations and inequalities, and the contact between the members varies in form, frequency and intensity.
