This study examines how students of majority and minority ethnic backgrounds in Botswana understand national identity as inclusive of their ethnic groups. Within assimilationist policies and curriculum, we find that the value of national identity rests on its positioning as a path toward higher levels of education and employment. However, for ethnic minority students, enacting this national identity requires sacrifice of other desired dimensions of a future good life, including ethnic identity.

（Dis）Unity的经历：博茨瓦纳学校学生对民族和民族身份的谈判
