Exploring Identity for Social Justice: Insights from Multilingual Speakers of English in Malaysia and Singapore by Yong Ern Amy Leow, Meng Huat Chau, Baramee Kheovichai

“…While it has been pointed out that identity is complex, unfixed and intersectional in nature, many studies tend to be restricted by their very conceptualisation of identity, which projects a sense of purism and essentialism rooted in Global North epistemologies. In this article, we consider the concept of (diasporic) identity and discuss how labels and categories of identity often prescribed to a community can and should be deconstructed for social justice purposes. …”
