            Identity research is the subject of many scientific disciplines. In the most general terms
            be perceived as a certain ability to become aware of and to define one’s self. The main ob
            paper is a comprehensive overview of a theoretical study addressing the diverse identities

            form, and overlap in the specific environment of the African-American ghetto. It is based 
            of significant ethnographic studies, fieldwork, autobiographies, interviews, and other sou
            with the subject. In the introduction, I will focus on the etymology of the concept, histo

            known theories defining ghetto culture. The main focus will be on the different perception
            belonging and the formation of ethnic identity throughout history. On the basis of selecte

            sources, I will present some individual and group identities that have been formed in the 
            in relation to lifestyle, to ways of livelihood, and to local subcultures. In the conclusi
            highlight some contemporary ghetto issues, such as the consequences of globalization, gent

            touristification.
