Immigrant Children's Dual Identities
Captions available
The idea
Immigrant children build both an ethnic and a national identity, and different groups weigh their identities differently.
In practice
A child calling herself Mexican at home and Mexican American at school.
Where people slip
Portuguese immigrant children ranked gender above ethnicity, Cambodian and Dominican children the reverse; balancing identities is stressful but often resolves into a multifaceted identity.
