Abstract
When the Chicago sociologist Robert Ezra Park conceptualized the “marginal man” in the 1920s (Park 1928), he focused his emerging theory of the relationship between identity and social order on the urban experiences of immigrants. Park regarded the immigrant as living in two different cultures and as struggling morally with an ambivalent division between the old and the new self.
