Negotiating "nous": Competing host national identities among second generation immigrants in Quebec
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This research examines questions of long-term immigrant integration and competing national identities, with respect to second generation immigrants in the context of minority nationalism. More specifically, it explores how second generation immigrants, born and raised in such a context, negotiate the various versions of national identity with which they are presented. In order to explore this negotiation process, this dissertation provides a within-case comparison based on interviews with four different groups of second generation immigrants in Quebec, Canada. Participants are 18 to 35 years of age and the targeted groups are distinguished by predominant racial category and official language preference; Haitians and Vietnamese representing a preference for French, and Anglo-Caribbeans and Filipinos preferring English. This dissertation explores the competing messages regarding the boundaries around Québécois and Canadian identity, but also the potential competition between these two national identities. These identities are interpreted by second generation immigrants as bounded by a mix between civic and ethnic criteria from a variety of sources, including everyday interactions, the media, and policies and political discourse. Second generation immigrant perspectives on their experiences with discrimination and racism are also discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
