拉美华人华侨的社会融入——基于文化维度理论的分析

Social Integration of Chinese in Latin America——Based on Cultural Dimension Theory

文化对于移民的社会融入是一个十分重要的影响因子。基于这一出发点,本文探讨了文化价值观如何影响拉丁美洲地区的华人华侨实现社会融入。本文从文化维度理论的角度分析,认为中拉之间在文化价值观上并非完全对立,而是存在接近和相似之处。文化价值观对于华人华侨实现社会融入的影响体现在双方民众相互认同,以及华人参政意愿和法律意识、工作与生活、婚姻与家庭生活、社交网络等诸多方面。研究表明,无论是文化差异性还是相似性,都有可能产生利弊兼有的双重影响,不能一概而论。

Culture is a very important factor for the social integration of immigrants.Based on this starting point,this paper discusses how cultural values influence the social integration of the overseas Chinese in Latin America.By using the cultural dimension theory,this paper argues that the cultural values between China and Latin America are not completely opposite,but there are some similarities.The impact of cultural values on the social integration of overseas Chinese is reflected in many aspects,such as mutual identification of the people on both sides,as well as Chinese willingness to political participation and legal awareness,work and life,marriage and family life,and social networking.It is found that both cultural differences and similarities have pros and cons,which cannot be generalized.
