Document Summary
Acculturation and the dialogical formation of immigrant identity. Part of the negotiation is to understand yourself as in where you came from and where you"re going. Understand yourself as your personal past and your present self and how you"ve come to understand your new culture but your past is still dealing with your previous history and the immersion into the new country. May think that the country your moving to is not your homeland . Suggests that immigration changes the identity and how you view the self and incorporate yourself into a different culture and society. The boundaries of who is like you and who is other. Where do you belong, do you feel like you belong. Do you feel part of this new culture and do you feel accepted. This can be dependent on the country or community you immerse yourself in.
