Abstract

ABSTRACT The bombings of the World Trade Twin Towers, New York, on September 11th, 2001, marked a turning point in American history. This paper explicates on the impact that this terrorist act on American soil had on an emerging nascent and complex multicultural identity. Informed by both my personal and professional life, the analytic work with Marianna, a young adult, sheds some light on internal and external factors that contribute to a feeling of safety in a world that feels increasingly unsafe.

美国身份:民主的流沙
2001年9月11日发生在纽约世贸双塔的爆炸事件标志着美国历史的一个转折点。本文阐述了这一发生在美国本土的恐怖主义行为对新兴的、复杂的多元文化认同产生的影响。在我的个人生活和职业生涯中,与年轻的玛丽安娜(Marianna)一起进行的分析工作,揭示了在一个越来越不安全的世界里,导致安全感的内部和外部因素。
