The relationships between social identities are important when discussing the national and religious identities of Muslims in Western contexts. This study explored the identity narratives of second-generation Muslim young adults to consider the relevance of bicultural identity and acculturation theories commonly employed in research with this group. The sample comprised 20 Muslim young adults of diverse ethnicities and backgrounds from Montreal, Berlin, and Copenhagen who participated in semi-structured interviews that explored how they negotiate their social identities in light of their unique life course trajectories. This article focuses on two major themes underlying second-generation identity development: the importance of personal experience in the development of social identities; and the enmeshment of multiple social identities. We then discuss the results of our findings in light of the complex nature of social identity, group membership, and political categorization.
当讨论西方语境下穆斯林的民族和宗教身份时，社会身份之间的关系很重要。本研究探讨了第二代穆斯林青年的身份叙述，以考虑在针对这一群体的研究中常用的双文化身份和文化适应理论的相关性。该样本由来自蒙特利尔、柏林和哥本哈根的 20 名不同种族和背景的穆斯林青年组成，他们参加了半结构化访谈，探讨了他们如何根据自己独特的人生轨迹来协商自己的社会身份。本文重点讨论了第二代人身份发展的两个主要主题：个人经历在社会身份发展中的重要性；以及多种社会身份的交织。然后，我们根据社会身份、群体成员和政治分类的复杂性质讨论了研究结果。
