Most recently, Americans have become familiar with the term
""second generation"" as it's applied to children of immigrants who
now find themselves citizens of a nation built on the notion of
assimilation. This common, worldwide experience is the topic of
study in Identity and the Second Generation. These children test
and explore the definition of citizenship and their cultural
identity through the outlets provided by the Internet, social
media, and local community support groups. All these factors
complicate the ideas of boundaries and borders, of citizenship, and
even of home. Indeed, the second generation is a global community
and endeavors to make itself a home regardless of state or
citizenship. This book explores the social worlds of the children
of immigrants. Based on rich ethnographic research, the
contributors illustrate how these young people, the so-called
second generation, construct and negotiate their lives. Ultimately,
the driving question is profoundly important on a universal level:
How do these young people construct an identity and a sense of
belonging for themselves, and how do they deal with processes of
inclusion and exclusion?
