| Description: |
Explores the social space occupied by both gender and ethnicity. As recognition of the sociological importance of gender and ethnicity has grown, so has the opportunity for exploring the intersections between them. This volume brings together both theoretical reflections and new research in this key area. |
| Synopsis: |
The editors, well-known for their work on gender and ethnicity, have compiled this book as one of the first explorations of the social terrain occupied by both of these key dimensions of social theory and human experience. Their own introductory essay, and the contribution of Annie Phizacklea, give a guide to theory and concept in the field whilst the main body of the book presents a series of fascinating case-studies and original researches. In what ways are gender and ethnic identities complementary or competing? Does ethnic change necessarily entail change in gender identities and do changes in gender roles actually lead the way in effecting ethnic change? These and related questions are explored through detailed and sensitive accounts of Punjabi families in Scotland and England, Hindu widows, the laws affecting family and migration, hybrid identities in the African and Asian diasporas, Surinamese networks in Amsterdam, Black nurses in Britain and gender identity in post-Soviet Latvia. |
