marginality
marginality the state of being part insider and part outsider to a social group. The term was perhaps first used by PARK (1928) to refer to the ‘cultural hybrid’ who shares ‘the life and traditions of two distinct groups’. Park focused particularly on migrants, stressing the disorienting effects of marginality. However, the concept can obviously be used to refer to many types of social marginality e.g. the marginality of the parvenu, the stigmatized, etc. See also STRANGER.MedicalSeemarginalFinancialSeeMarginalmarginality
