“…Yet for a people still fighting colonialism, home with a capital H is always Tibet (Dhompa ; see also Logan and Murdie ); Canada is someone else's home, but who that someone else is, is still becoming known to multigenerational Tibetans in Canada. Young activists are leading the way through solidarity with indigenous communities (Lokyitsang ).…”

Is it possible to be both a refugee and a citizen? For six decades, Tibetan refugees have refused citizenship in South Asia as part of their claims to Tibetan state sovereignty. They have lived in India and Nepal as refugee noncitizens, either undocumented or underdocumented, for multiple generations. But as Tibetans migrate to the United States and Canada, they gain citizenship through political asylum while maintaining their belonging to the Dalai Lama's refugee community. This shift in political practice is as situated in specific histories as it is in geographies. Tibetan citizenship practices in exile are not claims for recognition or forms of resistance; they are, rather, a refusal of international norms through a present‐day insistence on past and future political sovereignty.

“…The migration of Tibetans out of Tibet occurred in three waves. Firstly, from 1959 to the end of the 1970's, over 80,000 Tibetans fled Tibet with most settling in neighbouring India (Logan & Murdie, 2014). The second wave of Tibetan migration began in the 1980's and lasted until the 1990's during a period of Chinese liberalization that allowed more movement within and out of the country (Yeh, 2007).…”

While the majority of the studies have looked at transnational political activism among the first generation, it is clear that the experiences of the second generation is limited to a significant degree, especially in regards to the experiences of second generation Tibetan youth. Consequently, by drawing on the experiences of second generation Tibetan youth who attended the ‘March 10 political demonstration’ in Toronto, this study explores transnationalism and identity construction among the second generation within transnational social spaces. The findings of this study of six second generation Tibetan youths show that the second generation is highly selective in its transnational practices, as their level of participation is dependent on other commitment and responsibilities they may have in their personal lives. With regards to their identity, the findings indicate that they held both Tibetan and Canadian identities as they held hybrid, fluid, and situational identities that was based on having loyalties to both Canada and Tibet. Ultimately, this study reveals that the second generation are constantly negotiating their fluid and hybrid identities, as they are receiving different opposing ideas and information flows that allows them to connect with both their homeland in Tibet and Canada.
