Abstract
This paper follows change in ethnic identity and leisure time patterns among lower class young men and adolescent children of migrants of Creole Surinamese origin over the last fifteen years in Amsterdam. The ethnic identity of young ethnics is created not only in relation to the parent culture but also to youth culture, that is to say, popular culture and visible youth subcultures among white youth. The “magic” of second generation young Creoles is their ability to create a form of ethnicity which can be coupled with their little participation in the traditional organizations of the Surinamese community.
