Exploring an individual's experience of becoming biculturalBaines, Anil 05 1900 (has links)
A second generation South Asian can be faced with contrasting and conflicting
cultures which can impact the formation of a healthy ethnic identity. The present
study investigated what facilitated and hindered a South Asian's adolescent
experience of becoming bicultural. Flanagan's (1954) Critical Incident Technique was
used in interviewing 8 adult participants, including 5 females and 3 males, aged 20 to
26 years of age. The results identified 88 critical incidents, forming 10 helping
categories and 4 hindering categories. The 10 Helping categories were: (1) Cross
Cultural Friendships, (2) Speaking both Punjabi and English, (3) Personal Attributes,
(4) Shared Experiences with Peers in the 'Same Boat', (5) Family Support and
Influence, (6) Involvement in Recreational, Cultural and Religious Community
Activities, (7) Visiting India, (8) High School Experience, (9) University Education
and (10) Acceptance of Parent's and / or Grandparent's Views. The Hindering
Categories were: (1) Parental and / or Familial Expectations, (2) Media Influence /
Societal Expectations, (3) Personal Conflict of Cultural Values and (4) Experiencing
Racism. The categories were found to be reliable and valid through procedures such
as exhaustiveness, independent raters, co-researcher's cross checking, participation
rate and theoretical agreement. The resulting categories provide a list of
comprehensive factors that can facilitate and hinder an individual's process towards
developing a bicultural identity. The findings are discussed in relation to implications
for counselling theory and practice, and future research.

South-south migration: an ethnographic study of an Indian business district in JohannesburgYengde, Suraj January 2016 (has links)
A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg,
to fulfil the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
Johannesburg 2016 / Fordsburg, in central Johannesburg (Joburg) is a globally connected locality hosting 15-20
thousand visitors every month from all over the world. Fordsburg is a microcosm of
Johannesburg’s cosmopolitanism and bears a distinctly South Asian flavour. With a growing
south Asian and Indian presence, it has assumed the name ‘Indian market of Johannesburg’.
The dedication of the shopkeepers to keep prices low and the options of good bargains for
consumers has helped the area to develop its own identity. The passion to rise upwards among
newly arrived south Asian migrants marks the mood throughout Fordsburg market.1 This thesis
will provide insights on Fordsburg as an area for Indian businesses deriving stories of
businessmen, and labourers from various backgrounds, professions and nationalities. [No abstract provided. Information taken from introduction] / MT2017
