Abstract (2. Language):
In all emigrant societies, a social separation between emigrants and both second
generation, and natives, is imposed by the ethnic majority and this separation creates a
sociologically complex fault line. Built on comparison and contrast, this article offers a good
opportunity to understand the concepts associated with boundary processes of second-generationvv Mexicans in the U.S., North Africans in France, and Turks in Germany, and the
discrepancies among these generations. The difference between bright boundaries, which involve
no ambiguity about membership, and blurred ones, which do, is hypothesized to be associated
with the probability and processes of assimilation and exclusion. The authors have examined the
major factors such as citizenship, religion, language, and race on the institutionalization of
boundaries. The results of analysis lead to the conclusion that blurred boundaries generally
characterize the situation of Mexicans in the U.S., and bright boundaries characterize the
European context for Muslim groups although race the great, is not understood well.

Abstract (Original Language):
Sosyolojik olarak, tüm göçmen topluluklarda, bir taraftan göçmenlerle ikinci kuşak
diğer taraftan yerli halk arasındaki toplumsal ayrışma, etnik çoğunluk tarafından dayatılır ve
bu ayrışma, karmaşık bir fay hattı oluşturur/ortaya çıkarır. Bir karşılaştırma üzerine kurulan
bu makale, ikinci nesil Amerika'daki Meksikalılar, Fransa'daki Kuzey Afrikalılar ve
Almanya'daki Türklerin sınır süreçleri ile ilgili kavramlar ve bu nesiller arasındaki farklılıkları
anlamak için çok iyi bir fırsat sunmaktadır. Aidiyet hakkında hiçbir belirsizlik içermeyen net
sınırlar ile fluluk (belirsizlik) içeren sınırlar arasındaki fark; asimilasyan ve dışlanma süreçleri
ve ihtimali ile ilişkili varsayılmıştır. Aidiyet sınırlarının kurumsallaşmasındaki önemli etkiler
olarak vatandaşlık, din, dil ve ırk ele alınarak incelendi. Çalışmanın analizlerinin belirgin
sonuçları bizi; bulanık sınırlar için Amerika'daki Meksikalılara; büyük ırk her ne kadar iyi
anlaşılmasa da, net sınırlar için ise Avrupa'daki Müslüman grupların hayatı ile karakterize
edildiği yöne götürüyor.
