UNDERSTANDING MARGINAL IDENTITY THROUGH THE LENS OF MULTICULTURALISM. A THEORETICAL APPROACH
UNDERSTANDING MARGINAL IDENTITY THROUGH THE LENS OF MULTICULTURALISM. A THEORETICAL APPROACH

Summary/Abstract: Amidst the current confusion of attitudes and standpoints, an academic pursuit to define and clarify the nature of the circumstances which cause entire ethnic/religious groups to be situated on opposite sides of Samuel P. Huntington‟s controversial “clash of civilizations,” as well as the very concepts that are used to identify them, is needed. Clearly such an attempt is neither new, nor trouble-free, yet the present paper aims to explain the dynamics of the relationship that „marginal‟ cultures have with today‟s multicultural world, by resorting to several seminal works that have forever altered the way individual and group identity is regarded.
