9406485 Lamphere This project involves the dissertation research of a student of cultural anthropology from the University of New Mexico. The student will conduct an ethnographic study of Salvadoran immigrants to the US, living in Los Angeles. The question is to understand how migrants use new concepts of ethnicity -- as Latinos in an Anglo-Saxon country, and as Salvadorans -- when their political identity is local in their home country -- to construct their political identities and mobilize support, often transnational, to sustain productive and meaningful lives. The techniques used consist of ethnographic participant observation, and formal interviews of immigrants to understand these transplanted individuals relations to and understandings of the national state. This research is important because transnationalism is a dominant fact of our world. Increased understanding of how people change their identities, and construct new political identities to establish lives in new places and maintain connections with their home places can help us design programs to ameliorate problems and facilitate positive adjustment. The basic question is important -- understanding how Salvadorans living in the US adopt Salvadoran nationalism (missing to a large extent at home) and Latino ethnicity as coping mechanisms to help develop successful lives in the US will be valuable.

9406485 Lamphere这个项目涉及新墨西哥大学文化人类学学生的论文研究。 该学生将对居住在洛杉矶的萨尔瓦多移民进行民族志研究。 问题是要了解移民如何使用新的种族概念 - 作为盎格鲁撒克逊国家的拉丁裔以及萨尔瓦多人 - 当他们的政治身份在其祖国的本地 - 建立他们的政治身份，并动员跨国的支持，以维持生产和有意义的生活。 所使用的技术包括民族志参与者的观察以及对移民的正式访谈，以了解这些移植的个人与民族国家的关系和理解。 这项研究很重要，因为跨国主义是我们世界的主要事实。 对人们如何改变自己的身份，并建立新的政治身份以在新地方建立生命并保持与家乡的联系可以帮助我们设计计划，以改善问题并促进积极的调整，从而提高人们的身份。 基本问题很重要 - 了解居住在美国的萨尔瓦多人如何采用萨尔瓦多民族主义（在家中很大程度上失踪）和拉丁裔种族作为应对机制，以帮助发展美国的成功生活将是有价值的。
