{"product_id":"identity-and-the-second-generation-faith-g-nibbs-9780826520685","title":"Identity and the Second Generation: How Children of Immigrants Find Their Space","description":"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 \u003ci\u003eIdentity and the Second Generation\u003c\/i\u003e. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis 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?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Faith G.
