台灣新移民成年子女族群認同之研究

Abstract

本研究旨在於了解成年新移民子女的族群認同狀況，筆者將新移民子女分為三個群體（母親為東南亞華僑、中國人、以及東南亞人）並透過深度訪談法了解受訪者的家庭背景與生活經驗之後，筆者認為母親對於傳遞自身文化的意願、受訪者與母親親屬的互動狀況、在母親國家的生活經驗、以及政治因素等四點皆對於新移民子女的族群認同狀態有所影響。 整體而言，筆者認為東南亞籍配偶的成年子女要建立雙族裔認同最為困難，而東南亞籍華僑以及中國籍配偶的子女則較容易建立起雙族裔認同。

The purpose of this study is to explore new immigrants’ grown-up offsrings’ ethnic identity. After separating iterviewees into three groups and finding out how interviewees’ families background and life experences affect one’s ethnic identity by in-depth interviewing, I realize that there are four main factors as follow probably affect their ethnic identity: Firstly, whether these offsrrings' mothers transit their own culture to their children. Secondly, interaction between the interviewees and their ralatives on mothe's side. Thirdly their daily life experences in their mother’s hometown. Finally, political factor also have strength on these offsprings' ethnic identity, especially whose mothers come from China. Generally speaking, I consider that it is hard for interviewees, whose mother are from South-Asia, to build bi-ethnic identity. On the contrary, it is easier for interviewees, whose mother are Chinese-Indonesian, Chinese-Malaysian or Chinese, to develop bi-ethnic identity.
