The global economy and growing immigration have brought diverse groups in closer contact in major cities. Increasing rates of intermarriage, and of children born to them, have been widely acknowledged as an important aspect of contemporary super diverse territories. Mixed ethnic individuals are beginning to take up a strategic place in studies and policies. However, there is a lack of knowledge as regards this population and their experience, especially in Portugal. How do mixed ethnic families address the cultural socialization of their children? How do mixed children and young people negotiate identity and belonging within the context of their families? The proposed research is aimed at an in-depth understanding of the ways in which identities and belongings are created. Using a multi-interview research design, the project intends to interrogate the mixed ethnic family context as the site in which boundaries of belonging and identity are primarily defined. The objective is to advance existing theoretical and methodological frameworks for identity, ethnicity and family studies, through the study of a sample of 120 interviews with mixed origin families and their children.
