Evidence

A more accurate picture would have to begin with the lived complexity emerging in these diaspora communities, where so-called “traditional” ways of life derived from the cultures of origin remain important to community self-definitions, but consistently operate alongside extensive daily interaction at every level, with British mainstream social life. — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 331
