摘要

更现代的散居非洲人浪潮在他们在东道国社会中生活时,不断地需要各种各样的本土文化元素,这表明他们与祖国的联系仍在继续。这篇文章考察了在美国的尼日利亚移民的婚姻模式,以表达他们与本土文化的持续联系。我认为,与尼日利亚同胞结婚可以让他们创造一个空间,让他们的本土文化成为他们日常生活的一部分。在美国法律没有要求的程度上,利用尼日利亚的制度使他们的婚姻合法化,也表明了他们与祖国的联系。当他们给他们的孩子取民族(尼日利亚)名字时,他们这样做是为了明确表达他们的文化认同和根源,并在他们的孩子身上播下这种意识的种子。

Maintaining Links with the Homeland through Marriage and Naming
The more contemporary wave of diaspora Africans constantly call upon a wide array of elements of their native cultures as they negotiate life in their host societies, signifying their continuing linkage to their homelands. This article examines marriage among Nigerian immigrants in the US for patterns expressing their continuing connectedness to their native cultures. I argue that marrying fellow Nigerians allows them to create a space where their native cultures become part of their daily lives. Legitimizing their marriages using Nigerian institutions, to an extent which is not required by US law, also signifies their connection to their homelands. When they give their children ethnic (Nigerian) names, they do so explicitly to express their cultural identity and roots and sow the seeds of this consciousness in their children.
