美国少数族群的双重认同轨迹及其影响

族群认同问题是民族问题中的核心问题。对于国际社会中处于多数的多民族国家而言,如何有效构建统一的国家认同和社会认同将是关乎国家团结统一的关键性问题。我们是谁?我们属于谁?随着族群生存环境和社会环境的变化,族群的认同总是会发生某种程度上的波动性变化,进行自我身份的再认知和认同的自我调整,这种情况在移民国家更为明显。在美国身份认同政治氛围高涨的情况下,本文通过对美国少数族群双重认同的形成、互动轨迹、影响因素及配合因素等进行综合分析,解析双重认同存在的根源,以为多民族国家加强对少数族群认同的认识和国家认同的建构提供借鉴。

The Track of Dual-Identity of the Ethnic Minorities in the US and Its Impacts

The identity of an ethnic group is the focus of ethnic issues.For multinational countries,which are the majority in the international community,how to construct a unified national and social identity is a key issue to national unity.Who are we?Whom do we belong to?These two questions have always been asked in the development of ethnic groups.With the change of living and social environment of ethnic groups,ethnic identity will always undergo,in some way,fluctuation changes in order to meet the demand of self-identity recognition and self-adjustment of identity.This is more obvious in the immigrant countries.In view of the fact that identity politics is rising again in the US,this paper is trying to find the root cause for the existence of dual-dentity through comprehensively analyzing the formation of dual-identity of the ethnic minorities in the US,the track of their interactions,as well as the influencing and supporting factors,so as to provide a reference for the multinational countries to strengthen their understanding of the minority identities and construction of a national identity.
