Download or read book Emerging Voices written by Sangeeta R Gupta and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1999-04-12 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Submissive, docile, exotic... These are the images of South Asian women living in the USA that are created and perpetuated by society and the media--images that define and limit the boundaries of identity formation for these women. This book enables them to speak out as they redefine themselves, their families, and their communities in their journey of exploration and growth and in forging a biocultural identity. Written by South Asian immigrant gender specialists, this collection of original essays explores women's experiences with immigration. The chapters span different generational, religious, and regional points of view and at the same time cover women's varied and often conflicting roles as mothers, homemakers, and professionals. Among aspects covered are whether the experiences of South Asian women differ from other women, they way in which their experiences are different from those of male immigrants, the impact of home culture on gender role expectation, and their way of dealing with these conflicting pressures. A significant and timely book on an important but under-researched phenomenon.

Download or read book South Asian Women and International Relations written by Abhiruchi Ojha and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents South Asian women’s voices which have been marginalised in the theory and practice of international relations in the region. It highlights critical issues of importance for women which are often neglected in traditional International Relations (IR). Embracing Feminist epistemology, the book re imagines the theory and practice of IR in South Asia, placing women’s experiences and their diverse voices at the centre. Refusing the temptation to typecast women, the book showcases the varied voices of South Asian women in international relations with contributions from an eclectic set of authors from different nationalities. In doing so, the book expands the ontological and epistemological limits of IR by including caste, conflict, protest perspectives. While some of these are uniquely South Asian, like caste, all of them show how the field of IR in general can become enriched by being more inclusive. This book will be of interest to researchers as it provides a fresh conceptual re-conceptualization of the field of IR from gender as well as global south perspective. The book will also help graduate students seeking to understand the intersection of gender and IR.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the NASSS Outstanding Book Award Hockey and multiculturalism are often noted as defining features of Canadian culture; yet, rarely are we forced to question the relationship and tensions between these two social constructs. This book examines the growing significance of hockey in Canada’s South Asian communities. The Hockey Night in Canada Punjabi broadcast serves as an entry point for a broader consideration of South Asian experiences in hockey culture based on field work and interviews conducted with hockey players, parents, and coaches in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. This book seeks to inject more “color” into hockey’s historically white dominated narratives and representations by returning hockey culture to its multicultural roots. It encourages alternative and multiple narratives about hockey and cultural citizenship by asking which citizens are able to contribute to the webs of meaning that form the nation’s cultural fabric.
Download or read book Eyes of a Storm written by Roksana Badruddoja and published by Cognella Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08-26 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Eyes of a Storm," Roksana Badruddoja explores the perceptions of second-generation South Asian-American women about daily social practices in the U.S. and how they view themselves in comparison to broader American society. She accomplishes this by engaging in a year-long feminist ethnography (May 2004May 2005) with a cross-national sample of twenty-five women in the U.S., spending a day in the life of each womaneating, drinking, and talking about work, partners, families, food, clothing, and how they feel about being children of immigrants, among other things. The research on which this book is based explores the meaning of national belonging (and lack of belonging) for a group of "second-generation" South Asian women in America. Here, Badruddoja focuses on both the conceptual and theoretical perspectives of the social, economic, cultural, aesthetic, and political dimensions of transnational migration, which includes the effects of population circulations and demographic change (community formation, segregation, and integration). Dr. Roksana Badruddoja, a second-generation Bangladeshi-American, is a trained cultural sociologist from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. She is currently an Assistant Professor in the Women's Studies Program in California State University, Fresno, teaching Feminist "Research Methods, Women of Color in the U.S., Diveristy in the U.S., and Representations of Women." Her research about how race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, culture, and religion work among South Asian-American women has been published in several peer-reviewed journals, including the "National Women Studies Association Journal" (2008), the "Journal of Association of Research on Mothering" (2008), the "International Journal of Sociology of the Family" (2007), and the "International Review of Modern Sociology" (2007). She is currently working on an anthology about South Asian Diasporic movement in North America, entitled Brown Souls. Dr. Badruddoja resides in Fresno with her precocious and adventurous six-year-old daughter.
