Together-in-Difference : Beyond Diaspora, into Hybridity, Ien Ang , single work criticism
Ang argues 'for the importance of hybridity in a world in which we no longer have the secure capacity to draw the line between us and them, the different and the same, here and there, and indeed, between "Asian" and "Western"'. She believes that under the conditions of contemporary globalisation the concept of hybridity is more useful than 'other key concepts in the contemporary politics of difference - such as diaspora and multiculturalism - [because] it foregrounds complicated entanglement rather than identity, togetherness-in-difference rather than separateness and virtual apartheid'.
