Immigrant Girls: Ethnicity and Gender

Mies Van Niekerk ; Centre for Anthropological and Sociological Studies, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Sažetak

This article focuses on the differences between male and female in relation to processes of ethnicity among immigrant girls. Two cases are used as examples, namely Turkish and Surinamese girls in the Netherlands. Ethnicity or ethnic identity is considered as consisting of two aspects: ethnic cohesion and ethnic consciousness. Both seem to be different for boys and girls. Furthermore, it is argued that ethnic identity is only one of a large range of social identities and that – depending on the context – gender- and generation-identity may be of equal importance. Other variables – relating to culture, class and the migration process – account for the differences which can also be found between girls of the same or other ethnic groups.
