草稿:纯种美国人
此草稿目前正依照英文版维基百科的“American ancestry”上的内容进行翻译。 (2024年1月12日) |
纯种美国人(英语:American ancestry),又译美国血统,指的是一种美国人的自我认同,他们可以否定自己祖先的血统,坚定相信自己只是美国人[1][2]有这种自我认同的人大多数是美国白人,他们不再承认自己的欧洲祖先[3][4]。
纯种美国人和欧洲人的的血缘虽然没有太多差距,但他们在美国生活时冲突就一代代的弱化了,自认为是纯种美国人的人基本都是英格兰人、苏格兰人、爱尔兰人和威尔士人,或者其他英国血统[5][6][7]。
人口学家观察到,自称为纯种美国人在《人口普查》中经常被低估[8][9][10][11]。尽管美国人口普查数据表明“美国血统”最常在南方腹地、南部高地和阿巴拉契亚地区的白人身上出现[12][13]。但在2020年代后,更多的非白人美国人将也开始自称是纯种美国人,以表示对美利坚合众国的忠诚[14][15]。
词源
[编辑]纯种美国人,或者美国血统的英文原文是“American ancestry”最早可以追溯到在1500年代,原本的意思是“与欧洲人的生活习惯明显不同的,居住在西半球的原住民”[16]。在接下来的一个世纪,“纯种美国人”的意思开始扩展为欧洲殖民者在美洲繁衍的后代[17]。
根据《牛津英语字典》的定义,纯种美国人可以指“在美国本土出生的公民[18]。”
历史来源
[编辑]西奥多·罗斯福总统相信“在美国的版图内已经形成了一个纯粹的美国人种族,它与盎格鲁撒克逊人这样的英国白人种族截然不同[19]:78,131”,同时罗斯福也自信的预言“美国白人对美洲原住民的征服是必要的[20]:78。我们的的国家——美国正在创造一批全新的种族,正在融合为一个新的民族意识[21][22][23][24][25][26]。”
艾瑞克‧考夫曼教授认为,美国本土主义在以前主要由“心理”和“经济”这两个角度来解释,但是在“文化”和“民族”上也同样对这个主义的诞生有作用。考夫曼认为,如果不考虑“在19世纪的移民潮之前,美国人的爱国认同就已经出现”的事实,就无法真正理解美国本土主义为何[27]。
“本土主义”得名于1840~1850 年代的“美国原住民”政党[28][29]。在当时,“原住民”一词已经不止指代美洲印第安人了,也可以指原始十三州殖民地居民的后裔[30][31][32]。这些“老美国人”主要是来自英国的新教徒移民,视“从天主教国家来的移民”为“对美国供共和制度”的威胁,因为天主教徒可能更忠于位于梵蒂冈的教皇[33][34]。这种形式的美国民族主义通常和“排外心理”和“反天主教情绪”连接在一起[35]。
从1830~1850年代,美国东北部爆发的美国本土主义的思潮,有效遏制了天主教移民的激增[36]。美国机械协会是在1844年的费城本土主义骚乱之后创立的,属于“兄弟会”一样的黑道组织[37]。纽约市则是当时的反爱尔兰、反德国、反天主教的中心城市,其中最积极的社团是成立于1848年的“星条旗勋章”,它属于秘密结社[38]。更为流行的、公开的本土主义运动包括1850年代的一无所知党、美国党和1890年代的移民限制联盟[39]。
在美国内战前,即1830~1860 年间,美国政府基于“道德恐慌”的理由而限制住了美国主义的蔓延[40]。美国本土主义最终还是影响了美国国会[41],1924年,美国国会通过了《限制南欧和东欧国家移民法》,同时提出了各种正式和非正式的反亚裔规定,例如1882年的《排华法案》和1907年的《君子协定》[42][43]。

To be or to become an American, a person did not have to be of any particular national, linguistic, religious, or ethnic background. All he had to do was to commit himself to the political ideology centered on the abstract ideals of liberty, equality, and republicanism. Thus the universalist ideological character of American nationality meant that it was open to anyone who willed to become an American.

In the case of the United States, the national ethnic group was Anglo-American Protestant ("American"). This was the first European group to "imagine" the territory of the United States as its homeland and trace its genealogy back to New World colonists who rebelled against their mother country. In its mind, the American nation-state, its land, its history, its mission and its Anglo-American people were woven into one great tapestry of the imagination. This social construction considered the United States to be founded by the "Americans", who thereby had title to the land and the mandate to mould the nation (and any immigrants who might enter it) in their own Anglo-Saxon, Protestant self-image.
