Hybridity and globalization erode fixed difference categories and generate new identities

Evidence

As societies become more diverse, intermarriage also increases, cultural differences criss-cross and in the process generate new identities, and new differences. Cultural differences erode over time, due to globalization, changing identities, and consumption patterns, while local and regional reactions to globalization generate new identities and differences. Amidst this flux, the old notions of otherness are increasingly outdated. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 206
