Acculturation process, ethnic identity and migrant minors

Abstract

This article examines the complex interaction of the acculturation process and the building of the ethnic identity in minors with a migratory background. After describing the centrality of the concept of “etnicity”, it is presented a typology of four “possible” identities, as from the John Berry four-fold model of acculturation strategies. Features, trends and risks are outlined for the identified possible identity.
