Lives in Conflict

ISBN:
Category : Children of immigrants
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
This study explores how acculturation and family and cultural stories influence the perspectives and life choices of Serbian-Canadian young adults. Life history experiences of ten, second-generation Serbian-Canadians between the ages of eighteen through thirty-five years are documented. Narratives and analysis presented provide insights into second-generation life for this cohort from the 1970s through the disintegration of the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s, to present day. The themes explored provide insights into the kinds of struggles faced by second-generation Canadians of various ethnicities, in particular, those individuals whose parents have emigrated from war-torn countries. Early obstacles faced by second-generation adult children are illuminated and found to be significant, suggesting potential policy and outreach direction. The integration of adult second-generation men and women into both the diaspora community and mainstream life is a dynamic process that is changing the fabric of Canadian society. The major underlying themes which emerge in this study are the duality of the second-generation experience and the conflict inherent to the lives of Serbian-Canadians both as a result of this duality and many generations of war in the Homeland. The second-generation individual is forced to negotiate two worlds---parental ethnic and mainstream Canadian---leading to torn loyalties between the two. This divide is represented by attachment for Homeland versus host country; affinity with ethnic versus native identity; and challenging life choices regarding language, tradition, and socialization. The conflict that arises during such negotiation is augmented by the intergenerational transmission of a sense of historic Serbian suffering conveyed through family stories and cultural myths. The centuries-old experience of conflict has been exacerbated in the lives of young Serbian-Canadians as a result of the most recent war in the former Yugoslavia during the 1990s. In turn, the sense of alienation felt as a result of this and previous wars reinforce a preexisting struggle with identity duality.
