In this article the authors draw on a larger study in which their overall concern is to illustrate how diasporic identifications develop through a range of scales related to self, family, community, nation and beyond. They consider the Melbourne Greek community as an exemplar of diasporic experience and use it as a case study for their investigation, which is aimed at exploring how transcultural literacies relate to spaces which complicate and enrich identifications. In this article they consider the role of "after hours" schools in the shaping of diasporic identities. These are community-based schools where Greek language and culture is taught. Commonly, classes are held on Saturday morning or in the evenings during the week. Such schools operate in classrooms that are rented from "real" schools. By existing in spaces that are commonly occupied by mainstream day schools, students who attend "after hours" schools experience a form of marginalisation that is also a right of passage. Here the authors argue that such "in-between" spaces assist with the formation of "in-between" identities that are emblematic of globalization. (Contains 1 note.)
