"The effect of mass migrations has been the creation of radically new types of human beings. People who root themselves in ideas rather than in places, in memories as much as in material things, people who are obliged to define themselves, because they are so defined by others - by their otherness, people in whose deepest selves strange fusions occur up precedented unions between where they were and where they find themselves. The migrant suspects realty having experienced several ways of being, he understands their illusory nature. To see things plainly, you have to cross a frontier." Salman Rushdie, Imaginary Homelands.
