Hybrid identity
People are often thought of, and think of themselves, as being rooted in place and as deriving their identity from that rootedness. A practical implication of this way of thinking, is that people who are disrupt from their place, don’t fit into the identity-constructing categories of nations. Then school atlas, then, could represent people that are mapped as out of place. Holding on to this way of linking people and place does not give a complete notion of identity. It fails to take in account the increasing number of people who are linked to more place than one, and have a hybrid identity .
