Dislocations are unavoidable, perhaps essential for the voyage towards maturity, self-knowledge and recognition at the historical and discursive margins of the New World.

The drift and tendency towards globalization aims at reinforcing sameness for cultural and existential survival, where dislocation is necessary and difference is a truth. There is need to realize the significance of the cultural encounter which takes place in diasporic condition, the bi-cultural pulls and the creation of a new culture which finally emerges out of the psychic uncertainty of the diasporic split and dislocations.
