身份与族群系列(四) 在代际断裂与多元身份中,书写自己的“我们是谁” 文|之间博客 导语|传统不是包袱,而是材料 在前几篇中,我们走过了多族裔的认同地图,分析了华人身份的几种路径,也看见了学校与社区空间对身份的影响。而这一次,我们要聚焦在年轻一代身上。 他们生活在一个前所未有的交汇时代:社群平台、跨语表达、多元文化、全球抗争与身份觉醒并存。他们不满足于继承传统标签,也不愿被框在“模范少数族裔”的静音盒子里。他们要开口,要创作,要打破,要重写。

拖垮「美國製造」的真兇,不是工會
——回應《賭城天天報》的錯誤歸因與資本傲慢 2025年7月13日,《賭城天天報》發表了一篇〈製造業回歸美國的頑疾——過度的工會文化與勞工維權〉,稱台積電亞利桑那廠進展受阻,是因為美國工人太嬌貴、工會勢力過強、社會太維權。這種說法,掩蓋了真正問題——全球資本無止盡地追求利潤最大化,才是讓製造業難以回流的根本原因。

“我是谁”在学校与社区之间
身份与族群系列(三) 从教室到街区,我们如何被看见,又如何被忽略 文|之间博客 导语|身份不是自言自语,而是公共互动 在上一篇中,我们归纳出华人身份认同的五种变形路径,强调个体在文化、政治、家庭中的自我建构。而在这一篇,我们将视角从个体延伸到环境——特别是教育场域与社区空间这两个日常的舞台。所谓“教育场域”(社会学术语),不只是教室与课本的组合,更是孩子与老师、制度与文化之间无声的碰撞与编织;在那里,身份悄悄地被塑形,被命名,也可能被误解。而社区空间,则如街区的温度与语言的光影,决定我们是否被接纳,是否留下足迹,是否有人听见我们的声音。我们要问:在孩子的学校里、在生活的街区中,我们是如何被看见的?又有多少时候,我们被忽略、被误解,甚至被“默认缺席”? 身份不是一个人心里的独白,而是一种在公共语境中被定义与再定义的过程。学校与社区,正是我们每一天经历这种“被命名”与“被沉默”的地方。

华人身份认同的五种变形路径
身份与族群系列(二) 在标签与真实之间,华人如何塑造属于自己的“我是谁” 文|之间博客 导语|从共通挣扎,走向自身叩问 在第一篇中,我们画出了一张美国多族裔的“身份地图”,看见不同群体如何在社会结构、历史创伤与主流视角中寻找自我定位。本篇,我们把视角收回,落在“我们”自身——华人群体。华人身份从来不是单一的,它是流动的、多层的、甚至是矛盾的。本篇将尝试归纳出五种典型的身份变形路径,不仅为了理解彼此的差异,也为了照见我们每个人的可能性。
