Discursive Construction of Bicultural Identity: A Cross-Generational Sociolinguistic Study on Oromo-Americans in Minnesota (DASK – Duisburger Arbeiten ... Research in Language and Culture, Band 113) - Hardcover
Buch 6 von 16: DASK ? Duisburger Arbeiten zur Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaft/Duisburg Papers on Research in Language and Culture
Inhaltsangabe
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.
