Cultural hybridity and cosmopolitanism both disavow rooted ethnic identity

Evidence

This broad critique of “left-essentialist multiculturalism” is illustrated by two allied, although theoretically quite distinct conceptions - cultural hybridity and the cosmopolitan alternative. Both celebrate the notion of cultural mixture and, concomitantly, disavow the validity of so-called “rooted” identities like ethnicity. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 910
