16. Identity and Culture It is not surprising that we shy away from true understanding. If I am truly open to the way life is experienced by another person – if I can take his world into mine – then I run the risk of seeing life his way, of being changed myself. So we tend to view this other person’s world only in our terms, not in his. We analyse it and evaluate it – we do not understand it !! Rogers and Stevens (1967, page 93)

17. Identity and Self When I am standing in the school playground with my English friends, I am Black. When an African Caribbean girl joins our group, I am Asian. When another Asian girl comes in, I think of myself as Pakistani and a Muslim. When Pakistani friend join us, I become a Kashmiri girl who turns up, I become a Bradford School girl again!!!

20. A thought! "Liberation is impossible if we fail to see ourselves in more positive terms. For without a change of vision, we are slaves to the oppressor's ideas and values - ideas and values that finally attack the very core of our existence. Therefore, we must see the world in terms of our own realities." Larry Neal, "Black Art and Black Liberation," 1969
