В статье рассматриваются представления болгарского населения Тюменской области о своей этнической идентичности на современном этапе, а также предложены и охарактеризованы модели самоидентификации российских болгар. Источниковой базой выступили интервью с болгарами Тюмени и Нижневартовска. Качественный анализ интервью позволил выявить проблему этнической самоидентификации потомков межнациональных браков, особенности опыта респондентов в выборе этничности, направления процессов межэтнического взаимодействия в быту, языкового и культурного взаимовлияния. В статье рассмотрены и проанализированы общественные организации болгар, социальные платформы и виртуальные этнические группы. Авторы приходят к выводу, что болгары, проживающие в Тюменской области, несмотря на немногочисленность и дисперсность проживания, сохраняют свою этническую идентичность, успешно интегрировавшись в социально-экономическое, политическое и культурное пространство этого Западно-Сибирского региона. This article examines the ideas of the Bulgarian population of the Tyumen Region about its ethnic identity and proposes models of self-identification among Russian Bulgarians. Interviews with Bulgarians from Tyumen and Nizhnevartovsk were the source base. A qualitative analysis of the interviews revealed the problem of ethnic self-identification of the offspring of interethnic marriages; specifics of respondents’ experience in choosing ethnicity; and the nature of interethnic interaction in everyday life, including linguistic and cultural interaction. The article also considers public organizations of Bulgarians, social platforms and virtual ethnic groups. The authors conclude that the Bulgarians living in the Tyumen Region, despite their small number and geographic dispersion, retain their ethnic identity, successfully integrating into the socio-economic, political and cultural space of this West Siberian region.

The Future

AbstractThis paper will demonstrate the prevalence of 'ethnic thinking' in everyday life and the role which culture plays in defining individuals and groups in Singapore. I will argue that the Singapore state has intentionally created a national identity which rests on the idea of the assumed purity of the different ethnic groups which exist within that nation. Singpore's multi-racial policies force the heterogeneous character of the population into four 'races' and there are no officially recognised inter-ethnic individuals within the state. The official promotion of 'ethnic' culture which claims that ethnic identity and culture are somehow identical results in a culture of stereotypes which shapes everyday life - where people live and how they interact as neighbours, for example. The stereotypes are reinforced by religious festivals. While state support of ethnic differentiation has helped to prevent ethnic violence, the politicisation of ethnic identity may ironically encourage conflict in the future when ethnic and economic divisions coincide.

In everyday life, the two major ethnic groups in Pasaman, the Minangkabau and Tapanuli / Mandahiling, also looks harmonious and culture can be considered harmonious. Start marginalization of various forms of traditional arts, in addition due to the onslaught of modern art or urban as a single organ, also due to the control of the religious values of IslamSecara garis besar ada lima karakter atau wilayah seni budaya yang hidup di Kabupaten Pasaman, yakni (1), seni tradisi yang tumbuh di lingkungan masyarakat Minangkabau; (2) seni budaya tradisi yang tumbuh di lingkungan masyarakat Tapanuli; (3) seni budaya tradisi yang tumbuh karena interaksi budaya Minangkabau dan Tapanuli/Mandahiling; (4) seni budaya tradisi yang tumbuh karena pengaruh budaya Islam; dan (5) seni budaya baru yang bersifat modern. Empat karakter dan wilayah seni budaya ini (minus seni budaya orgen tunggal), sampai sejauh ini terlihat bisa hidup saling berdampingan dengan harmonis, bahkan untuk beberapa kasus ditemukan bentuk-bentuk akulturasi budaya yang luar biasa menariknya, misalnya pada seni budaya ronggeng di Kecamatan Duo Koto, merupakan masyarakat yang hidup dalam dua dimensi kebudayaan, yakni Minangkabau dan Mandahiling. Dalam keseharian, dua kelompok etnik besar yang di Kabupaten Pasaman, yakni Minangkabau dan Tapanuli/Mandahiling, juga terlihat serasi dan secara kebudayaan bisa dianggap harmonis. Mulai terpinggirkannya berbagai bentuk kesenian tradisi tersebut, selain akibat gempuran seni modern atau urban seperti orgen tunggal, juga disebabkan adanya kontrol dari nilai-nilai keagamaan Islam

The Individual

Ethnic leaders play an increasingly important role in shaping the ethnic ties and functioning of ethnic groups. National and ethnic elites are also advocates of collective identity. They create the criteria of ethnic identity and develop identity constructs. Such constructs are to be the frame for the creation of the individual identity of the members of the group. While formulating identity projects leaders must be in dialogue with the group which they wish to influence. In this paper, I will show the complexity of these processes. In the eighty narratives collected during my research on Silesian ethnic leaders we see individual ways of constructing identity and boundaries of group practices of everyday life (where identity is negotiated and multiple, based on the symbolic resources and categorizations available in the group – the pnioki, krzoki and ptokiof the title), and, on the other hand, identity projects constructed in a more conscious way. The latter are created in the context of identity politics, which my interlocutors lead on behalf of the collective entity (in this case, the Silesian community).

Ethnic Federalism

The article pioneers the analyses of the results of ethnic federalism introduced in Ethiopia in 1991 – and its influence on Afar. Ethnicity was proclaimed the fundamental principle of the state structure. The idea of ethnicity has become the basis of official ideology. The ethnic groups and ethnic identity have acquired fundamentally importance on the political and social levels . The country has been divided into nine ethnically-based regions. The article exposes the complex ethno-political and economic situation in the Afar State, roots and causes of inter- and intra-ethnic relations and conflicts with Amhara, Oromo, Tigray and Somali-Issa, competition of ethnic elites for power and recourses. Alive is the idea of “The Greater Afar”which would unite all Afar of the Horn of Africa. The protests in Oromia and Amhara Regions in 2015–2017 influenced the Afar state as welll. The situation in Ethiopia nowadays is extremely tense. Ethiopia is plunging into serious political crisis. Some observers call it “the beginning of Ethiopian spring”, the others – “Color revolution”

This article explored the variability of parental educational mind-sets among Australian parents toward the accessible educational and learning capitals that may affect their children’s educational achievement. The participants ( N = 1,917) responded to the Family Educational and Learning Capitals Questionnaire as well as their ethnic identity. Parents also reported their children’s numeracy scores in a standardized test of achievement. Six major groups were adequate for statistical analysis, including Australians, British, Chinese, Indian, Other Asian, and Other European. A multiple comparison analysis was performed on the responses by parents from the six ethnic groups to examine the differences in parent responses to access to capitals. Controlled for ethnic groups, stepwise regression analysis showed which capitals predicted numeracy achievement of their children. The results indicated that within this sample of Australian parents, there is variability across different ethnic groups in what is considered important in their children’s educational achievement and this variability is associated with differences in numeracy outcomes.
