Youth identity analysis must hold local-global hybridity and micro-sites together

Evidence

As Ali Rattansi and Ann Phoenix have pointed out: “Increasingly, the frame has to be one in which the intersections of local/global have to keep the multiplicity, relative fluidity and hybridity or syncretism of youth identities also in focus, without forgetting that identificatory processes always occur in micro sites” (Rattansi and Phoenix, 1997:143). What I want to argue for is the need to engage in dialogue with young people in innovative ways in order to establish how the “fact of hybridity” is lived and coexists with racism, exclusion, and essentialized definitions of identity, belonging, and entitlement. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 3037 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
