This qualitative study explores the self-identification of young Black Surinamese Dutch women in the racialized context of Dutch society, how family and school contribute to identity formation, and how identity shapes the everyday lives of young women of color in predominantly white institutions in the Netherlands. Eight online in-depth interviews were conducted with Black Surinamese Dutch college women in the Netherlands about how they understand their identities, how they perceive the process of learning about their identities, and how their identities shape their everyday experiences in Dutch society. Findings illustrate the influence of family in shaping ideas about identity, the complexity of these women’s multiple layered identities, and their unique insider/outsider position in navigating everyday life in the Netherlands. This study illustrates empirically and theoretically the importance of using intersectional approaches when studying identity formation and contributes to ongoing scholarly work on racism and racial identity in Dutch society.
