title = "Talking Like a Generation: The {\textquoteleft}Documentary{\textquoteright} Meaning of Ethnicity for Aging Minority Britons",
abstract = "This article contributes to the {\textquoteleft}cognitive turn{\textquoteright} in the study of ethnicity and national identity, which focuses on how individuals construct ethnic identity categories pertinent to social cohesion. Using Mannheim as a methodological and analytical guide, we show how examining ethnicity as a relational enactment devoid of a priori categorisations allows situational identities that intersect with classical sociological concepts other than ethnicity – namely generation, class, and citizenship – to emerge within and across typical ethnic categorisations. We draw on an analysis of micro-level interactions among 40 aging {\textquoteleft}black and minority ethnics{\textquoteright} (BMEs) engaging in small-group discussions and a large deliberative assembly held in London in 2011.",
