Multi-
Parramatta: A Dictionary of Place and Memory - M
Every country in the world is made up of different cultural groups.
In every country, there is a variety of languages spoken, a variety of ways of being.
In every country, there is no single human being whose appearance is representative of a homogenous everyone.
Perhaps it is time to retire the notion of a country being made up of a single group that is one race, one language, one faith, one anything, and instead openly embrace the plural. With that, there’s the acceptance that each person is not a single identity, that they’re made up of different threads, simultaneously belonging to multiple communities.
Enough with identity and community and country as a monolith, and let us have a school of thought that celebrates the sense of being multi- as the most natural state.
