"Cultural Identity and Diaspora" (Stuart Hall)

Stuart Hall's concept of "Cultural Identity and Diaspora" explores how people's sense of who they are is shaped by their shared history, culture, and experiences, especially for those living outside their original homeland. In a diaspora, individuals often navigate multiple identities—preserving traditions from their roots while adapting to new environments. Hall emphasizes that cultural identity is not fixed but continuous, evolving through social interactions and cultural exchanges. This dynamic process allows diasporic communities to maintain a connection to their origins while also creating new, hybrid identities in their adopted countries.
