How is identity claimed and created in communities that have experienced multiple processes of refugeeness and patterns of mixed migration? This article explores how Palestinian national identity is moulded, influenced, experienced and lived in a context of protracted refugeeness, exile and diaspora in Sweden. Departing from literature on diaspora and Palestinian identity formation and based on the collection of narratives from Palestinians residing in Sweden, the article sheds light on the processes through which Palestinian identity is strongly related to a moral and political commitment to the homeland lost and to issues of solidarity. Palestinians in Sweden also reveal a strong embracement of Swedish citizenship related to aspects such as the passport, the right to vote, security, liberalism and the welfare system. As Palestinians have arrived to Sweden from different instabilities in the Middle East and in different times, there are also affiliations and links to other spatial surroundings such as refugee camps in Lebanon and Syria. The paper also illuminates how multiple refugeeness create both a shared understanding of identity, but also internal rifts and contradictions, relating to former places of residence, to increasing racism and enforced social boundaries in Sweden, and to the different processes of displacement that have brought them to Sweden.

情感认同和务实的公民身份:在瑞典成为巴勒斯坦人

在经历过多重难民过程和混合移民模式的社区中,身份是如何主张和创造的?本文探讨了巴勒斯坦民族认同是如何在瑞典长期的难民、流放和散居的背景下塑造、影响、体验和生活的。从关于散居和巴勒斯坦人身份形成的文献出发,并根据居住在瑞典的巴勒斯坦人的叙述收集,本文阐明了巴勒斯坦人身份与对失去家园的道德和政治承诺密切相关的过程以及与团结一致。瑞典的巴勒斯坦人也表现出对瑞典公民身份的强烈拥护,这与护照、投票权、安全、自由主义和福利制度等方面有关。由于巴勒斯坦人在中东和不同时期从不同的不稳定地区抵达瑞典,因此也与黎巴嫩和叙利亚的难民营等其他空间环境有联系和联系。该论文还阐明了多重难民如何创造对身份的共同理解,以及内部裂痕和矛盾,这些裂痕和矛盾与以前的居住地、瑞典日益加剧的种族主义和强制的社会界限以及导致他们的不同流离失所过程有关到瑞典。
