Belgian youth of Turkish and Moroccan origin are increasingly exposed to the structural and sociocultural changes affecting their parents’ country. This paper examines how contacts with the parents’ country of origin influence processes of social identity construction. We postulate that these contacts affect “identity strategies” as defined by Carmel Camilleri (1990). Sixteen Belgian youths of Turkish and Moroccan origin participated in in-depth interviews. These were analyzed with the content analysis software ALCESTE. Results reveal an influence of gender: girls and boys perceive cultural evolution differently. As expected, results show that participants adopt strategies to manage cultural diversity, but they also point to the influence of identity assignments from the country of origin.
