动荡中的客家族群与族群意识——粤东地区潮客村落的比较研究

Hakka Ethnic Group and Ethnic Awareness in Turbulence

粤东客家地区几个族群互动研究案例表明,族群认同的根基论(或称原生论)与情境论(或称工具论)两种理论在实践上并不是截然分开的,族群认同虽说是基于语言、血缘、习俗等文化特质的认同,但这种认同是以族群的互动为前提的。同时,粤东地区的调查点还说明,经过认同与互动过程的族群关系呈现的是多元模式的局面。这些观点都有利于族群研究的深化。

The case study on the interactions among several ethnic groups living in East Canton Hakka areas shows that the two theories of ethnic identity -- primordialism/essentialism and structuralism/instrumentalism -- are not completely separate. Though ethnic identity is based on the identity of the cultural characteristics such as language, blood relationship, and customs, it is predicated on the interactions among the ethnic groups. Meanwhile, the study also shows that the ethnic relationship, after identifications and interactions, turns out to be apoly-model situation. All these viewpoints are good for furthering the study on ethnic groups.
