ABSTRACT This study aims at understanding the formation of identity (cultural, political and personal/group) and the formation of ‘spaces’ (physical and virtual) by a group of second-generation Sudanese migrants in the diaspora (Qatar) and how those migrants negotiate the terms that constitute their subject positions as second-generation Sudanese migrants in Qatar. The research uses ethnography as a method to understand how a group of Sudanese youth living in Qatar negotiate their cultural/social state of ‘in-between-ness’, what ‘citizenship’ means to them? How do they perceive ‘spaces’ such as: ‘home’? What roles do virtual ‘spaces’ such as social media sites and other communicative/public ‘spaces’ are playing in creating the cultural, personal and political identities of those youth living in the diaspora? Situated within scholarship in second-generation transnational migration, the study concludes that as transnational migrants, living in a state of in-between-ness, those youth have developed a clear sense of belonging culturally, nationally, emotionally and spiritually to Sudan as ‘home’. At the same time, those youth have obligations to Qatar as ‘home’ where they grew up, had education and created many memories. Second-generation Sudanese migrants in Qatar have informally created a political arena in which their allegiance to Sudan can be articulated in such a way as to become a daily expression of who they are. Defending Sudan while speaking to other Arab nationalities becomes a regular part of their lives as second-generation migrants. Social media offered another discursive space for the second-generation Sudanese migrant youth living in Qatar in which the local, the national and the transnational are interconnected and where possibilities for belonging, for choosing not to belong and for combining belonging in multiple communities emerge.

从卡塔尔第二代苏丹移民的跨国视角看身份、公民身份和“家”

摘要 本研究旨在了解散居海外（卡塔尔）的第二代苏丹移民群体身份（文化、政治和个人/群体）的形成和“空间”（物理和虚拟）的形成以及这些移民如何谈判构成他们作为第二代苏丹移民在卡塔尔的主体地位的条款。该研究使用民族志作为一种方法来了解居住在卡塔尔的一群苏丹青年如何协商他们的“中间”文化/社会状态，“公民身份”对他们意味着什么？他们如何看待“空间”，例如：“家”？社交媒体网站和其他交流/公共“空间”等虚拟“空间”在创造文化、散居海外的青年的个人和政治身份？该研究位于第二代跨国移民的奖学金范围内，得出的结论是，作为跨国移民，生活在一种介于两者之间的状态，这些青年在文化、民族、情感和精神上对苏丹作为“家”产生了明确的归属感。 '。同时，这些青年也有义务将卡塔尔作为他们成长、接受教育和创造许多回忆的“家”。卡塔尔的第二代苏丹移民非正式地创造了一个政治舞台，在这个舞台上，他们对苏丹的忠诚可以通过这种方式表达出来，成为他们的日常表达。在与其他阿拉伯民族交谈的同时捍卫苏丹成为他们作为第二代移民生活的一部分。
