Annotation

Acculturation literature elucidates that a bulk of non-dominant ethnocultural minorities regards themselves bicultural, implying both dominant and ethnic cultures. This paper employed the notion of bicultural identity integration and tapped into the biculturalism processes amid 16 secondary school students coming from South and Southeast-Asian groups in Hong Kong. There is a discrepant juxtaposing of ‘cultural diversity’ in the host society and a segregated schooling for minority students.
