The first is broadly the way Britain is at the moment: a mosaic of communities--Bangladeshi, Afro- Caribbean, Chinese or Jewish holding fast to a strong social identity, but lumbered also with a whole raft of benefits and disadvantages, most of them defined in economic terms l6. It’s possible that will still be the pattern in 50 years time, but not very likely.
……
The alternative is a pick-and-mix social landscape. At the moment ethnic minorities are moving in different directions at different rates, with personal and social engagement across ethnic boundaries increasing all the time. One crude indicator is the level of mixed race marriage: one in five Bangladeshi and Pakistani men born in Britain now has a white wife, and one in five babies born in Britain has one Afro-Caribbean and one white parent.
This implies a Britain in which people will construct multiple identities defined by all sorts of factors: class, ethnicity, gender, religion, profession, culture and economic position. It won’t be clear-cut. Not all ethnic minorities, or members of an ethnic minority, will be moving in the same direction or identifying the same issues at the heart of their identities. It’s about deciding who you are, but also about how other people define you.
That’s what will be at the heart of the next 50 years: enduring communities linked by blood through time versus flexible, constantly shifting identities. Identity won’t be about where you have come from; it will be a set of values you can take anywhere that is compatible with full participation in whichever society you live in.
选项
答案
可能性较大的是出现一种拼凑式的社会局面。少数民族目前正以不同速度朝不同方向发展,个人及社会跨越民族界线的交往一直在增加。一个显而易见的标志就是异族通婚的程度:英国出生的孟加拉裔和巴基斯坦裔男子现在有1/5娶了白人妻子,英国出生的婴儿有1/5父母一方是非洲裔加勒比人,另一方是白种人。
这就意味着在英国人们将构建由阶级、民族、性别、宗教、职业、文化和经济地位等各种因素界定的多重身份,结果不会一清二楚。并非所有少数民族(或少数民族的成员)都将朝同一方向发展,或认定同一些问题构成他们身份的核心。这关系到决定自己是谁,也关系到别人如何界定自己。
这就是今后50年的核心问题:一方面是靠长期血缘关系而延续的各个社区,一方面是灵活而不断转变的各种身份。身份将不是你来自哪里的问题;而是一套你可以带到任何地方的价值观,不论你生活在哪个社会,它都不妨碍你完全融入。
