This research paper studies second-generation Bosnians in the United States, to understand the identity formation of this population after the Bosnian War through the lenses of home, belonging and borders. Through archival research and extended interviews, second-generation Bosnian-Americans were asked questions about their dual/hybrid identity and their sense of home and belonging. Analysis of the data shows that the second generation has had relatively weak acculturation, by some measures, due to close identification with their heritage. Yet, the second generation’s view of the Bosnian War is different from that of the first generation, who prefer to distance themselves from memories of war. The second generation would like to preserve their parents’ experiences as a part of their lives and pass it on to the next generation of Bosnian-Americans.

身份、归属感和家

本研究论文研究了美国的第二代波斯尼亚人，从家园、归属感和边界的角度了解波斯尼亚战争后该人群的身份形成。通过档案研究和广泛的采访，第二代波斯尼亚裔美国人被问及有关他们的双重/混合身份以及他们的家和归属感的问题。数据分析表明，从某些方面来看，第二代由于对其遗产的认同程度较高，文化适应能力相对较弱。然而，第二代人对波斯尼亚战争的看法与第一代人不同，他们更愿意与战争记忆保持距离。第二代希望保留父母的经历作为他们生活的一部分，并将其传递给下一代波斯尼亚裔美国人。
