I begin emphasising contextual and contingent ways in which identities are expressed. Diasporic always configured through gender, illustrate how respondents negotiate relation both changing familial gender ideals relations against racialised stereotypes. Finally, consider exploring possibilities for reworking drawing on alternative identifications.
