Ethnic Identity, Social Mobility and the Role of Soulmates: IMISCOE Research Series

Autor Marieke Slootman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 oct 2018
Based on a study among higher-educated adult children of lower-class Turkish and Moroccan immigrants in the Netherlands, this open access book explores processes of identification among social climbers with ethnic minority backgrounds. Using both survey data and open interviews with these ‘minority climbers’, the study details the contextual and temporal nature of identification. The results illustrate how ethnicity is contextual but have tangible and inescapable effects at the same time. Also the findings call for a more reflexive use of terms like ethnic ingroup/outgroup and bonding/bridging. Overall, the book helps us understand the emergence of middle-class segments that articulate their minority identities and as such it will be of great interest to academics, policy makers and all those interested in processes of integration and/or diversity.

Recenzii

“The appropriate audience for Slootman’s Ethnic Identity, Social Mobility and the Role of Soulmates, may include scholars and policy experts dealing with ethnic identity, migration, nationalism, assimilation, integration or multiculturalism. For academicians, policy makers and lay readers alike, the book provides a nuanced perspective from the vantage point of ethnic migrants towards understanding ethnic minority identity and national integration.” (Maguipuinamei Rejoyson Thangal, Psychological Studies, Vol. 65 (3), 2020)
