Abstract

ABSTRACT This article argues for the use of refugee citizenship as a concept to analyse the kind of citizenship sought after, and experienced, by refugees in a protracted situation who want to retain some aspects of refugeehood in order to continue to fight for an endangered homeland. It is based on fieldwork conducted in 2019 with young Tibetans in Toronto who refer to themselves as Tibetan-Canadians or Canadian-Tibetans. Their experience of a dual affiliation, being both Canadian citizens and Tibetan refugees, informs the discussion of how a homeland cause can lead refugees in a protracted situation to have an ambivalent, insider/outsider, position vis-à-vis the newly acquired citizenship of the (usually Western) host country.

难民公民身份:公民身份作为一种手段，提出关于难民身份的要求

摘要本文主张将难民公民身份作为一个概念来分析长期处境中的难民所寻求和体验的公民身份，他们希望保留某些方面的庇护，以便继续为濒危的家园而战。它是基于2019年在多伦多对自称为加拿大藏人或加拿大藏人的年轻藏人进行的实地调查。他们既是加拿大公民，又是西藏难民，双重身份的经历为讨论家园事业如何导致长期处境中的难民对（通常是西方）东道国新获得的公民身份持矛盾的内部/外部立场提供了依据。

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.
