Resumo
This paper considers why Germans in Romania exhibit so much less corporate ethnic identity than they have exhibited in the past or than another of Romania's ethnic minorities, Hungarians, exhibits in the present. Specifically socialist policies do not adequately explain the decline in German ethnicity, which is more fully accounted for — as is the contrasting Hungarian example — by (1) the groups' historical positions, which influenced their present situations and self‐conceptions, and (2) an international context that differentially affects the form and reproduction of their identities, [ethnicity, Eastern Europe, social structure, history, social change]
