Abstract
We now talk of diasporas, and the double or triple spaces temporal, cultural, spatial they occupy. Multiplicity in thought, memory, and space seems to define individuals and societies everywhere. It is no longer possible to retain the view that you come from a single-strand dominant culture. The majorities define the minorities as much as the reverse; in other words, the changing periphery causes alterations at the centre, if there is still a centre. (Maniam, 1996)
