Hybrid Identities in Second-Generation Transnational Migrants

Quick fact

Instead of becoming fully assimilated or remaining isolated, many second-generation migrants develop hybrid identities that blend their parents' cultural heritage with the host society, often speaking different languages at home and at school, and celebrating both their ancestral and local holidays.

Why this is interesting

Have you ever shifted your language, food preferences, or manners when moving between your home and the outside world? For many children of immigrants, this isn't just code-switching—it's the very fabric of their identity.
