Abstract:This paper studies to what extent participating in days for national commemoration and celebration is associated with feelings of national belonging, and to what extent this is comparable across generations and ethnic groups. Utilizing data from a national survey (N=4505), three major national days in the Netherlands are examined. We find that whereas participation in Queen’s Day is associated with national belonging for all generations, for Remembrance Day is this holds only for the generation born between 1945 and 1955, and for Liberation Day for the generation born after 1955. Moreover, for citizens with non-Western origin, participating in national days is associated with national belonging more strongly than for citizens with a native Dutch or other Western background. These findings highlight the importance of paying attention to potential group differences in the association between participation in national days and feelings of national belongings. 摘要:本文研究参加国家日的纪念和庆祝活动与国家归属感关联的程度,并比较了跨代人群和跨民族人群与此关联的程度。利用一个国家调查(样本数N=4505)的数据,本文研究了荷兰的三个主要国家日。我们发现,女王日(Queen's Day)的参与对于所有年代人群都是与国家归属感有关联,对于纪念日(Remembrance Day)是对出生在1955和1945之间的人有关联,对于解放日(Liberation Day)是1955后出生的人有关联。此外,对非西方来源的公民,参加国家日与国家的归属感相关联比本地荷兰公民或其他具有西方国家背景的公民更强烈。这些发现强调了关注不同群体间在国家日和国家归属感之间关联的潜在差异的重要性。 Keywords: national days, national belonging, generations, ethnic origin, quantitative, Netherlands 关键字:国家日,国家归属感,代,族群起源,定量的,荷兰 作者:Manja Coopmans 来源:Ethnic and Racial Studies 2015, Volume 38, No.12 (责任编辑:admin) |
