Fluid identity / constructed identity – Gauntlett :

Double Consciousness –  the struggle African Americans face to remain true to black culture while at the same time conforming to the dominant white society. 

Frantz Fanon – Fanon perceived colonialism as a form of domination whose necessary goal for success was the reordering of the world of indigenous (“native”) peoples. He saw violence as the defining characteristic of colonialism.

Paul Gilroy – Paul Gilroy believed “unstable” and politicised identities are “always unfinished, always being remade” and ethnicity is an “infinite process of identity construction”.

Post colonialism – Postcolonial theory is a literary theory or critical approach that deals with literature produced in countries that were once, or are now, colonies of other countries.

Diaspora – the dispersion or spread of a people from their original homeland.
