Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examines the lived experiences of second-generation Black Jamaicans and investigates how they interpret Canadian multiculturalism while navigating racism in their everyday lives. There is no dearth of research on multiculturalism in Canada. However, this article makes a fresh contribution to debates on multiculturalism by exploring how multiculturalism is understood and articulated as a claim-making process by a racialized group under lived citizenship framework. It extends the discussions on multiculturalism from a state-centered analysis to citizenship from below. Drawing from 22 interviews with second-generation Black Jamaicans, this study maintains that citizenship is a dynamic process through which research participants make claims to rights and belonging and negotiate their position vis-à-vis the state and other citizens to put the ideals of multiculturalism into practice.

作为协商公民身份的多元文化主义：第二代牙买加黑人的声音

摘要本研究考察了第二代牙买加黑人的生活经历，并调查了他们在日常生活中应对种族主义时如何解读加拿大多元文化。加拿大不乏对多元文化主义的研究。然而，本文通过探索多元文化如何被理解和阐明为一个种族化群体在生活公民框架下的一个声明过程，为关于多元文化的辩论做出了新的贡献。它将对多元文化主义的讨论从以国家为中心的分析扩展到了公民身份。根据对第二代牙买加黑人的22次采访，这项研究认为，公民身份是一个动态的过程，研究参与者通过这个过程提出权利和归属，并就他们对国家和其他公民的立场进行谈判，以将多元文化的理想付诸实践。

期刊介绍： Citizenship Studies publishes internationally recognised scholarly work on contemporary issues in citizenship, human rights and democratic processes from an interdisciplinary perspective covering the fields of politics, sociology, history and cultural studies. It seeks to lead an international debate on the academic analysis of citizenship, and also aims to cross the division between internal and academic and external public debate. The journal focuses on debates that move beyond conventional notions of citizenship, and treats citizenship as a strategic concept that is central in the analysis of identity, participation, empowerment, human rights and the public interest.
