“…A nascent literature on generational change in identity in the UK suggests that across minority groups the tendency is for national identity to increase with time and generation, while minority identity declines (Georgiadis and Manning 2013;Guveli and Platt 2011;Platt 2014;Karlsen and Nazroo 2013;Manning and Roy 2010).…”

Much of the political and academic discussion has, however, been premised on two assumptions. First that ethnic minority and national identification are mutually exclusive, and secondly that national identification represents an overarching majority identity, which represents consensus values. In this paper, using a large-scale nationally representative UK survey with a varied set of identity questions, and drawing on an extension of Berry's acculturation framework, we empirically test these two assumptions. We find that, among minorities, strong British national and minority identities often coincide and are not on an opposing axis. We also find that adherence to a British national identity shows cleavages within the White majority population. We further identify variation in these patterns by generation and political orientation.

“…This will introduce an origin perspective to understand the more complex patterns of assimilation, including accelerated dissimilation from the origin culture as well as resistance to gender equality among return-migrants' offspring who seem to hold on to traditionalism in response to feeling threatened by or isolated in the 'immoral' West (cf. Diehl, Koenig, and Ruckdeschel 2009;Guveli and Platt 2011;Huschek, de Valk, and Liefbroer 2011;Verkuyten and Yildiz 2010).…”

“…This second perspective goes under different names as well: retention, resistance, alienation, revival and more (e.g. Diehl, Koenig, and Ruckdeschel 2009;Guveli and Platt 2011;Huschek, de Valk, and Liefbroer 2011;Norris and Inglehart 2012;Verkuyten and Yildiz 2010).…”

Gender Equality Attitudes among Turks in Western Europe and Turkey: The Interrelated Impact of Migration and Parents' Attitudes

This study applies unique data on three-generation migrant and non-migrant lineages to assess how assimilation and intergenerational transmission theories hold up for attitudes on gender equality in the context of Turkey-Europe migration. Information on migration histories of families and gender equality attitudes is collected for over 800 families. Based on those data assimilation and retention theories and theories on intergenerational transmission as a means to reproduce cultural attitudes among migrant families are tested from a dissimilation-from-origin perspective: how do migrants and their descendants differ from non-migrants from the same area of origin. The results of this study support concepts that focus on context-and path-dependency: segmented assimilation is shown in the form that the more traditional migrants who move back to Turkey have children with more traditional views than comparable people without migrant ancestors (retention). At the same time, among lineages that settle in Europe, migration seems to speed up the assimilation process of becoming more supportive of gender equality. Moreover, the youth that grew up in Europe is hardly influenced by the parents' attitudes, whereas the ones growing up in Turkey are. This supports the idea of migration being a transmission belt for intergenerational transmission.

“…In terms of migration and integration policies, as captured for instance in the Indicators of Citizenship Rights for Immigrants, Germany stands out as a relatively restrictive context (ICRI score À0.14) compared with Great Britain (ICRI score 0.40) and the Netherlands (ICRI score 0.42) (Koopmans, 2013: 154). Clearly, it is impossible to test how such macro-differences affect integration trajectories with just three cases; following Alba's and Foner's (2014) recent suggestion, we, therefore, use country comparisons not for causal-analytical purposes but rather to sensitize for contextspecific dynamics (see also Gu¨veli and Platt, 2011). We analyze the three countries separately, and discuss any differences in light of relevant macro-characteristics.…”

Religion and new immigrants' labor market entry in Western Europe

2016

This paper analyzes the effects of religious participation upon a major socio-economic integration outcome, namely employment, among recent Christian and Muslim newcomers in three Western European destination countries: Germany, the Netherlands, and Great Britain. The paper revisits theoretical arguments about religious participation as an ethnic investment strategy or, alternatively, as a bridge to the societal mainstream. Drawing on the longitudinal dataset produced in the international survey project on 'Socio-cultural Integration Processes among New Immigrants in Europe' (SCIP), the paper puts these arguments to a rigorous test by analyzing effects of involvement in religious communities on employment and by scrutinizing channeling effects of the ethnic composition of religious congregations for recent migrants' entry into mainstream versus ethnic niche economies. The paper finds only limited support for either of the two arguments, suggesting that religious participation is structurally decoupled from socio-economic integration. However, persisting net employment gaps between recent Christian and Muslim immigrants might indicate the existence of religiously marked and socio-economically consequential boundaries in Western Europe.
