Claim: Ethnoscape deals with perspectival constructs related to historical, linguistic and political situatedness of various communities and the people who form the shifting world in which we live.
Evidence: The suffix -scape indicates that these terms are perspectival constructs inflected by the historical, linguistic, and political situatedness of different kinds of actors: nation-states, multinationals, diasporic communities, and subnational groupings and movements, whether religious, political, or economic, etc.. By using the ethnoscape, Appadurai extends the landscape of persons who form the shifting world where we live, that is, tourists, immigrants, refugees, or any moving groups and individuals of fundamental feature of the world and appear to affect the politics of (and between) nations to a hitherto unprecedented degree.
