利用2000年移民和定居研究卓越中心资助的研究项目收集的生活史访谈数据，本文考察了家庭、社区和环境在一代半和第二代印度裔加勒比人和非洲裔加勒比人的身份形成中所起的作用。这项研究的结果表明，加拿大年轻人的种族认同形成涉及文化、环境和社区的流动和复杂的相互作用。这个特殊群体的种族认同是一个动态的、情境化的、不断变化的过程。种族的经历在很大程度上也受到过去和现在关系中的规则和做法的影响。对于一代半和第二代加勒比加拿大人来说，这个过程可以被理解为移民生命周期中的一个阶段，这个阶段的特点是不断变化和组装新的混合身份，这些身份主要基于外表和在社会和文化资本方面接近主导群体。
Using data from life history interviews collected from a 2000 Centre of Excellence for Research on Immigration and Settlement–funded research project, this article examines the role that family, the community, and the environment have played in the identity formation of one-and-a-half-generation and second-generation Indo-Caribbean and African Caribbean Canadians. Findings from this research suggest that ethnic identity formation in Canada for young people involves a fluid and complex interplay of culture, environment, and community. Ethnic identity for this particular group is a dynamic, situational, and changing process. The experiences of ethnicity are also shaped largely by rules and practices in past and present relationships. For one-and-a-half-generation and second-generation Caribbean Canadians, this process may be understood as a stage in the immigration life cycle, a stage characterized by constant shifting and assembling of new hybridized identities, ones that are based primarily on physical appearance and closeness to the dominant group in terms of social and cultural capital.
