How Do Historical Relationships Between the Host and Home Countries Shape the Immigrants’ Consumer Acculturation Processes?
We extend Ustuner and Holt’s critical approach to acculturation (2007). The forms of domination faced by immigrants in the host countries are not limited to social-class. There are also historical tensions between the host and home countries, stigmas associated with each other’s cultures. We compare and contrast consumer identity construction processes of second-generation Algerian immigrants to that of the Turkish immigrants. While this study is a work-in-progress; we will be able to present the first comparative analysis during the conference.
