Mal, Carmen Iuliana; Licsandru, Tana and Veresiu, Ela (2023). Acculturation strategies of stigmatized groups: a case of Romanian immigrants in the UK. In: CCTC2023: Consumer Culture Theory Conference 'Utopia Revisited', 27-30 Jun 2023, Lund, Sweden.

Abstract

We draw on interviews with Romanian immigrants in post-Brexit UK to uncover whether and how they recognize and manage stigma during the process of acculturation. Findings illustrate how Romanian immigrants accumulate and use cultural and economic capital to manage their stigma, while access to social capital remains an elusive ideal.
