Allegations of terrorism have caused immigrant populations to be questioned with respect to their political identities and their national loyalties.

Even among populations that have been raised primarily in their country of settlement, there is a concern regarding their level of attachment to the homeland. The process by which these second generation populations determine their loyalties and identities is complex and dynamic. This paper examines how Tamil Canadians negotiate both their personal and political identities in a charged environment, particularly following the designation of the Tamil Tigers as a terrorist organization. Based on in-depth interviews conducted with second-generation Sri Lankan Tamils in Toronto, the paper explores how the members of the dias-poric community negotiate their Canadian and Tamil identities, and the process through which they determine their loyalties between Sri Lanka -- their homeland -- and Canada -- their country of settlement. Suite à des allégations de terrorisme, des populations immigrantes se sont vu questionner sur l'en-gagement de leur identité politique et de leur loyauté nationale. Même chez les personnes ayant grandi principalement dans leur pays d'accueil, il demeure une inquiétude quant à leur attache-ment au pays d'origine. Le processus par lequel ces populations de seconde génération détermi-nent leur engagement est complexe et dynamique. Dans cet article, nous examinons comment les Canadiens tamouls négocient une identité composite, à la fois sur le plan personnel et politique et dans un environnent complexe, en particulier après la désignation des Tigres tamouls comme organisation terroriste. À partir d'entrevues réalisées en profondeur auprès de Tamouls sri lankais de seconde génération vivant à Toronto, nous explorons dans cet article comment les membres de la diaspora négocient leur double identité canadienne et tamoule, ainsi que le processus par lequel ils déterminent leur loyauté envers le Sri Lanka -- leur pays d'origine -- et le Canada -- leur pays d'accueil. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Canadian Ethnic Studies is the property of Canadian Ethnic Studies and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
