The author examines the cultural identity development of
Oromo-Americans in Minnesota, an ethnic group originally located
within the national borders of Ethiopia. Earlier studies on
language and cultural identity have shown that the degree of ethnic
orientation of minorities commonly decreases from generation to
generation. Yet oppression and a visible minority status were
identified as factors delaying the process of de-ethnicization.
Given that Oromos fled persecution in Ethiopia and are confronted
with the ramifications of a visible minority status in the U.S., it
can be expected that they have retained strong ties to their ethnic
culture. This study, however, came to a more complex and
theory-building result.
