The rhizome is a theoretical concept developed by Deleuze and Guattari which rejects the notion of a linear trajectory of thought in favour of a multiplicitous network of ideas, relations and entry points.1

Edouard Glissant adopted the concept in relation to the creation of African diasporic identity, as it 'maintains the idea of rootedness but challenges that of a totalitarian root.'2
