摘要
This study aimed to investigate the role of ethnic enclaves in perceived discrimination among Arab American adolescents. Little research has investigated what specific risk and protective factors play a role in perceived discrimination within ethnic enclaves; and which of these factors may be the most salient to Arab American adolescents. The study used a phenomenological approach, using semi-structured interviews, journals, and parent interviews to collect and triangulate the data. Member checking and peer debriefing were also used to check for validity. A 'protective' theme, described as 'living in a bubble' and two 'risk' themes described as 'cracks' (i.e., within-group discrimination) and 'pores' (i.e., online discrimination) were identified. Although ethnic enclaves appeared to protect adolescents from out-group discrimination, it also appeared to be porous, with risk factors, such as online discrimination, 'seeping' into the community.
