走出边缘：阳江苗族代耕农的文化适应与社群重构

OUT OF THE MARGIN: CULTURAL ADAPTATION AND COMMUNITY RECONSTRUCTION OF THE HIRED FARMERS OF THE MIAO IN YANGJIANG

移民群体从原本的社会结构中脱嵌出来,在短期内难以融入移居社会,进而成为社会夹缝中的边缘群体。面对边缘化的生存情境,不同的移民群体会采取不同的应对策略。20世纪90年代,云南山区的苗族群众进入广东阳江代耕。在边缘化的生存情境中,他们并没有走上同化的道路,而是建立相对独立的代耕社区,并利用自身的文化资源和亲属网络建构自身的主体性。

It is difficult for the emigration population who separate from their original social structure to integrate into society they resettle down in short term. As a result of this, they become the marginal group living in the cracks of society. In facing a marginal survival situation, different migrant group may adopt different coping strategies. The ethnic Miao from the mountainous area of Yunnan entered the district of Yangjiang, Guangdong as hired farmers in the 1990s. Rather than been assimilated into the resettlement community in this marginal survival situation, they build a relatively independent farmhand community and take advantage of their own cultural resources and relative network to build their own subjectivity.
