0000020529 00000 n In the evocative words of one teaching text, it offers a contrast between ‘ethnicity in the heart’ and ‘ethnicity in the head’ (Banks 1996). While earlier models of racial identity construed racial identity as a unidimensional construct (see Marks, Setttles, Cooke, Morgan, & Sellers, 2004), several leading racial and ethnic identity scholars have made the case for conceptualizing racial and ethnic identity as multidimensional constructs (Allen, Thornton, & Watkins, 1992; Demo & Hughes, 1990; Phinney & Ong, 2007; Sanders-Thompson, 1995; Sellers et al., 1998).

Arguments about whether or not ethnicity is ‘situational’ or ‘primordial’ confuse the ubiquity of a social phenomenon such as ethnicity with ‘naturalness’ (implying determinism and presocial powers of causation). Ethnic identity is highly salient for immigrants, but it changes over time and across generations.

Not all ethnic identity expressions are the same. Ethnic identity and politics are both powerful means of social differentiation and major sources of conflict. 1 0 obj 2 0 obj The racial identity models seem the more limited in contemporary context because they are still embedded in an undimensional model of racial belonging, as centuries-old rules remain unquestioned. 0000002341 00000 n For example, in the public identification condition participants read about a Native American individual who spoke his native language with family and friends in both private and public spheres (e.g., “To this day, Thomas continues speaking Lakota Sioux both at home and in public with his family and friends.”). Introduction - Stuart Hall Who Needs 'Identity'? Introduction - Stuart Hall Who Needs 'Identity'? Notably, most of these researchers being male did not have access to the gendered experience of femaleness and its secondary status within their ethnic and racial groups. Sharon Hsin Hsu, in Principles of Addiction, 2013. As we have seen, ethnic identity may be used politically by both dominant and subordinate groups, although their particular strategies may differ. Racial identity and ethnic identity are terms that refer broadly to how individuals define themselves with respect to race and/or ethnicity.

Bhugra (2004) states it is the ‘Racial, cultural and ethnic identities form part of one's identity, and identity will change with development at a personal as well as at a social level along with migration and acculturation’. He is also clear that what matters is that ties of blood, language, and culture are seen by actors to be ineffable and obligatory; that they are seen as natural.

They are obviously not. R.

Multilingualism, Cultural Identity and Éducation in Morocco While national cultural mythology works to draw together the different identities and local communities of which a nation-state is constituted, to make culture and polity congruent under the same political roof (Gellner, 1983: 43), and to paper over the cracks that divide those who identify with Anderson's imagined community from those who are not subsumed under the state's hegemony, it is a good comparative researcher who would be able to represent these subtleties and nuances to an extent that might be called true and fair. With other people in this stage of development, such as high school and college age peers, they may not be viewed as authentic members due to their biracial status, particularly if they are not willing to denigrate and denounce in an exaggerated way that which is white.

Nation (as in national, associated with a country) and culture are, after all, often conflated in comparative-education research that attempts to identify the cultural factors associated with, say, educational achievement. Feelings of insecurity or perceived threats regarding one's ethnic identity can lead to ethnic violence.

We also investigated if White and non-White ethnic groups are held to the same standard such that private ethnic identity expression is okay but public expression is not. It is important to note that members of minority groups do not always self-identity with being a minority on a daily basis, and in some cases due to assimilation or low enculturation, may actively resist being identified as a minority group member. %PDF-1.4 %���� Enrique W. In other words, is ethnicity an aspect of ‘human nature’? Most recently, he has acknowledged the need to add micro- and macrolevels of analysis to the intermediate level upon which his original arguments concentrated. 4 0 obj (2004). These views cannot be simply ignored, and an anthropological perspective—rooted in social constructionist assumptions—has much to offer as a critique of the naturalization of chauvinism and ethnic conflict.

To suggest that ethnicity is ever present, as one of the ‘givens’ of human social life, is not to endorse the primordialist point of view.

The origins of these representations, these narratives that constitute and reflect the discourse of national culture, lie in and may be constructed through: “the narratives of the nation, as it is told and retold in national histories, literatures, the media and popular culture,” which “provide a set of stories, images, landscapes, scenarios, historical events, national symbols and rituals which stand for, or represent, the shared experiences, sorrows, and triumphs and disasters which give meaning to the nation” (Hall, 1994: 293), and which “make up the threads which bind us invisibly to the past” (Schwarz, 1986: 155); the emphasis on “origins, continuity, tradition and timelessness” (Hall, 1994: 294), which represents national identity as primordial, “in the very nature of things” (Gellner, 1983: 48); the invention of tradition: as Hobsbawm and Ranger (1983: 1) point out, traditions which appear or claim to be old are often quite recent and sometimes invented; the creation of a foundational myth, one which “locates the origin of the nation, the people and their national character so early that they are lost in the mists of, not ‘real’, but ‘mythic’ time” (Hall, 1994: 295; Hobsbawm and Ranger, 1983: 1); and. Consequently, Hegel, and the many others who share his basic assumptions, view the dialectic of identity as inherently conflictual, and often violent. As Hall (1994: 297) points out, “modern nations are all cultural hybrids.” Most modern nations have, after all, been born out of violent conquest of one or more groups by another. by Elise Trumbull and Maria Pacheco, Brown University Children begin to develop a sense of identity as individuals and as members of groups from their earliest interactions with others (McAdoo, 1993; Sheets, 1999a). � �P�2ܱ�w�����
