1. In New Ethnicities, page 448, Hall said, "What is involved is the splitting of the notion of ethnicity between, on the one hand, the dominant notion which connects it to nation and ‘race’ and on the other hand what I think is the beginning of a positive conception of the ethnicity of the margins, of the periphery." My question is: how does Hall's discussion of the politics of ethnicity and diaspora experiences challenge traditional notions of ethnicity connected to nation and race, and instead emphasize a positive conception of ethnicity rooted in difference and diversity?
2. As Hall observed in Gramsci's relevance for the study of race and ethnicity, Gramsci interrupted a homogeneous understanding of racism. In what way did Gramsci challenge such understanding?
