St Helena is a non-sovereign British Overseas Territory located in the South Atlantic Ocean. When full British citizenship was removed in 1981, migration destinations were reduced to Ascension Island and the Falkland Islands. The islanders of St Helena are not only transnational; they are trans-islander. With the return of citizenship in 2002, many St Helenians migrated to the UK, depleting the population on the island, creating doubts regarding the island’s future. Whilst the islanders defended their British national identity, they simultaneously questioned it. This paper demonstrates how although St Helena officially economically relies on the British Government, the islanders themselves support their island through economic remittances. This paper offers an insight into how communities survive during times when their national identity is ruptured. The St Helenian community remains intact; the islanders have ensured this. A suit of Bourdieu’s concepts have been utilised for a theoretically driven understanding of islandness. Islander identity is formed as outwardlooking desiring opportunity, freedom of movement and capital, and inward-looking with a strong sense of feeling and attachment to the island. Continuity and survival for this small island community is composed of migration, shift, and rupture.

“圣赫勒拿岛,之间的小岛”:多种迁徙,小岛韧性和生存

圣海伦娜(St Helena)是位于南大西洋的非主权英国海外领土。1981年,当完全的英国公民身份被撤消后,移民目的地减少到了升天岛和福克兰群岛。圣赫勒拿岛的岛民不仅是跨国的,而且是跨国的。他们是跨岛民。随着2002年公民身份的恢复,许多圣Helenians移民到英国,使岛上的人口枯竭,从而对该岛的未来产生了怀疑。在岛民捍卫其英国民族身份的同时,他们同时提出了质疑。本文展示了尽管圣赫勒拿岛在经济上正式依赖英国政府,但岛民本人却通过经济汇款来支持其岛屿。本文提供了关于社区在民族身份破裂期间如何生存的见解。圣海伦尼亚社区保持完整;岛民已经确保了这一点。从理论上对布迪厄岛进行了理解,运用了布迪厄的一系列概念。岛民身份的形成是外向的渴望机会,迁徙和资本自由,以及向内的感觉和对岛的依恋感。这个小岛社区的连续性和生存由迁移,转移和破裂组成。并具有强烈​​的感觉和对岛屿的依附感。这个小岛社区的连续性和生存由迁移,转移和破裂组成。并具有强烈​​的感觉和对岛屿的依附感。这个小岛社区的连续性和生存由迁移,转移和破裂组成。
