Title
De génération en génération : Identités et projets identitaires de Montréalais de la 'deuxième génération'
Abstract
The authors undertook a number of research projects conducted during the 1990s in various social and cultural environments of Montreal concerning the issue of ethnic identities among young people who are products of immigration. They observed that immigrant parents, parents in mixed-couple relationships, and those who have opted for international adoption, formulate specific projects as regards the ethnic identity of their children and use a number of concrete strategies to this effect. Their study of mixed couples includes a sampling of parents who have grown up in an ethnic minority environment of Montreal. The identity projects that mixed couples have developed for their children are compared with their own socialization and the identity projects that their immigrant parents had for them. The authors demonstrate that the identity projects of today’s young parents from immigrant environments are different from those of previous cohorts in a number of regards, especially with respect to issues linked to a pluralist reality.
