7. I agree with Stuart Hall's opinion that "the notion that only the multi-cultural cities of the First World are 'diaspora-ised' is a fantasy which can only be sustained by those who have never lived in the hybridised spaces of a Third World, so called 'colonial', city". Stuart Hall, 'When was 'the post-colonial'? Thinking at the limit', in The Post-Colonial Question, (ed) Iain Chambers and Lidia Curti, Routledge, 1996, p 250. But I think it is also possible to assume a horizon and layer of the diasporic even in everyday life, even if it should not depend on mere metaphorical thinking
