这项研究从英国、印度和巴基斯坦的年轻成年人的角度探讨了成为英国人意味着什么。15名受访者接受了采访，使用半结构化的时间表，以探讨他们的自我描述和自我分类，如何不同的环境影响他们的身份，英国和印度/巴基斯坦，他们的爱国主义意识，以及他们的种族主义，歧视和多元文化的看法。扎根理论方法被用来分析访谈。受访者的身份和背景，威胁和种族主义的作用进行了详细的研究，以及这些人如何定义英国的边界，以及他们如何定位自己的关系，这些边界的模型，是从数据中得出的。英国人的六个边界被确定，即种族、公民/国家、工具、历史、生活方式和多元文化边界。与会者灵活地使用这些界限，根据讨论英国化的特定背景绘制不同的界限。这些多重边界的概念化的国家识别的影响进行了讨论。版权所有© 2009约翰威利父子有限公司。
This study explored what it means to be British from the perspective of young British Indian and Pakistani adults. Fifteen respondents were interviewed using a semi-structured schedule in order to explore their self-descriptions and self-categorizations, how different contexts influence their identifications as British and as Indian/Pakistani, their sense of patriotism, and their perceptions of racism, discrimination and multiculturalism. Grounded theory methodology was used to analyse the interviews. The respondents' identifications and the role of context, threat and racism were studied in detail, and a model of how these individuals defined the boundaries of Britishness, and how they positioned themselves in relationship to these boundaries, was derived from the data. Six boundaries of Britishness were identified, these being the racial, civic/state, instrumental, historical, lifestyle and multicultural boundaries. Participants used these boundaries flexibly, drawing on different boundaries depending on the particular context in which Britishness was discussed. The implications of these multiple boundaries for the conceptualization of national identification are discussed. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
