Numerous studies suggest that among immigrant adolescents, strength of ethnic identity is correlated with positive psychological outcomes. However, such an overgeneralization ignores the ways in which multiple identities complicate and, in some cases, mitigate the benefits of a strong ethnic identity. This is especially true when the ethnic identity in question is based on narrowly defined and potentially oppressive notions of what counts as "authentic." Marginalized individuals may find themselves facing the choice of adhering to ethnic identities that require them to sacrifice their beliefs, personal liberty, and dreams, or rejecting ethnic identities and facing the possibility of being criticized, condemned, or ostracized by both co-ethnics and outsiders.

520 $a Numerous studies suggest that among immigrant adolescents, strength of ethnic identity is correlated with positive psychological outcomes. However, such an overgeneralization ignores the ways in which multiple identities complicate and, in some cases, mitigate the benefits of a strong ethnic identity. This is especially true when the ethnic identity in question is based on narrowly defined and potentially oppressive notions of what counts as "authentic." Marginalized individuals may find themselves facing the choice of adhering to ethnic identities that require them to sacrifice their beliefs, personal liberty, and dreams, or rejecting ethnic identities and facing the possibility of being criticized, condemned, or ostracized by both co-ethnics and outsiders.
520 $a The following qualitative study uses surveys, interviews, and document analysis to examine how 30 South Asian American young women use technology to critique widely held beliefs about ethnic identity and authenticity. In the process, these young women create new definitions and performances of ethnic identity that resist existing gendered, oppressive norms associated with an imagined, nostalgic homeland and its accompanying traditions. Through the act of renegotiating these definitions, participants question misperceptions about women of color sharing a monolithic experience or being keepers of community honor and traditions.
520 $a This research examines how technology affords both opportunities for participants to grapple with questions of ethnic identity and authenticity, and opportunities for researchers to examine social pressures to subscribe to "authentic" definitions of ethnic identity and the ways in which definitions shift between contexts. In examining how youth create hybrid ethnic identities, and how this identity negotiation functions as a form of resistance, the study also reveals how participants' relationships with families and peers both help and hinder their ability to engage in radical acts.
520 $a The study also suggests that only through the widespread acknowledgement of the existence of multiple experiences will youth truly have the freedom to be able to experiment with their identities to their full capacities, and to reach their potential as activists, artists, and individuals.
