Diaspora traditions are constantly revised, not immured in unchanging Tradition

Evidence

But these are certainly not communities immured in an unchanging “Tradition.” As in most diasporas, traditions are variable from person to person, and even within persons, and are constantly being revised and transformed in response to the migration experience. — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 332

Categorization

• DEFINE: Distinguishes variable, revised traditions from the reified capital-T ‘Tradition’ — key mechanism for how identity works in diaspora.
• XREF: Connects directly to how Islamophobia discourse reifies ‘Muslim tradition’ as static; this is the theoretical preempt to that critique.
