| Title |
Ethnic and Religious Identity Retention among Second-Generation Arab Youths in Montreal
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the relationship between ethnic and religious identity retention among Arab-origin students from five CEGEPs in Montreal. The author pays special attention to the influence of three socio-cultural factors: parental socialization, gender-related traditionalism, and perceived discrimination and stereotyping. He examines how group boundaries among the second generation emerge from re-appropriations of pre-fabricated ethnic labels and identities. He argues that although these youths identify strongly with their ethnic culture and community, nonetheless, they fail to show matching levels of enmeshment in ethnic-based socialization networks. He also found that religion is more experienced by these youths as a group boundary marker, than as a binding frame of religious prescriptions and rituals. His data strongly suggest that religion and ethnicity are intertwined within these youths' identity structure.
