Les hommes politiques issus de l'immigration à Amsterdam : image de soi, image des autres

Year: 1998

Type: article

Abstract: Migrant Politicans in Amsterdam : Self Image and Image of Others. Brieuc-Yves Cadat et Meindert Fennema. How to understand the formation of ethnic and anti-racist identities and the relationship between these identities and political strategies? Based on interviews with twenty-nine migrant politicians, candidates or elected politicians, in 1990 and 1994, the article answers the questions. The Turkish politicians argue predominantly from an « ethnic perspective ». Surinamese and Antillean politicians, on the other hand, tend to argue from an « anti-racist » perspective. Moroccans take an intermediate position. The self-images of these three groups were reflected in the image they had of each other. These rival images suggest potential conflict in the existing advocacy coalition of migrant politicians.
