Hybrid Identities: Theoretical and Empirical Examinations (Studies in Critical Social Sciences (Brill Academic))

Combining theoretical and empirical analysis, this book presents the emerging theoretical work analyzing hybrid identities while also illustrating the application of these theories in empirical research. Types of hybrid identities explored include: transnational, double consciousness, gender, diaspora, the third space, and the internal colony. Combining theoretical and empirical pieces, this book explores the emerging theoretical work seeking to describe hybrid identities while also illustrating the application of these theories in empirical research. The sociological perspective of this volume sets it apart. Hybrid identities continue to be predominant in minority or immigrant communities, but these are not the only sites of hybridity in the globalized world. Given a compressed world and a constrained state, identities for all individuals and collective selves are becoming more complex. The hybrid identity allows for the perpetuation of the local, in the context of the global. This book presents studies of types of hybrid identities: transnational, double consciousness, gender, diaspora, the third space, and the internal colony. Contributors include: Keri E.
