ABSTRACT
Socially disadvantaged groups are increasingly referred to as the marginal, and the process that results in marginality is marginalisation. It appears that these terminologies better explain the social categories, poor and the disadvantaged because the latter implies discrete social categories while the former connotes the relative structural positions of their counterparts, the privileged and advantaged social groups. The term also locates the mutual shifts within the sociopolitical field. Therefore, understanding marginalisation as a sociopolitical action requires us to examine the underlying process that results in marginalisation. This chapter attempts to focus on the everyday process of marginalisation in the discursive practices that occur through different contexts within institutional, public, or private spaces.
