Iftikhar Mehmood

Abstract

The research paper provides insights into the sociology of race and ethnicity, investigating identity construction, historical underpinnings, and societal hierarchies. It discusses the changing definitions of race and ethnicity, the influence of migration on cultural belonging, and the power dynamics between minority and majority groups. Furthermore, it examines attitudes towards dual citizenship in the Netherlands, contextualizing them within notions of national identity and cultural acceptance. Through a comprehensive analysis, the paper sheds light on the complexities of racial and ethnic dynamics in contemporary society.
