| Description: |
An exploration of the social space occupied by both gender and ethnicity, which uses examples ranging from Punjabi families in the UK and Surinamese migrants in Amsterdam, to Hindu and Muslim women and black nurses in Britain, the African and Asian diasporas, and gender identity in post-Soviet Latvia. |
| 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. |
