Book Synopsis Negotiating Tradition, Becoming American by : Rifat Anjum Salam
Download or read book Negotiating Tradition, Becoming American written by Rifat Anjum Salam and published by LFB Scholarly Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salam examines how second generation South Asian Americans assimilate by analyzing their family experiences, their structural circumstances and their adult life choice through the lens of arranged marriage. Arranged marriage, as an analytical frame, uncovers the ways in which gender, autonomy and intergenerational dilemmas shape individual lives. Contrary to popular assumptions about South Asians, the subjects of this study are not bound by the traditions of arranged marriage, but rather their experiences reflect a great deal of variation, negotiation, compromise and a nuanced understanding of tradition. The findings support similar current research which recognizes how individuals navigate and negotiate family, gender conflicts, and individualism in American society.

To the contrary, others claim that individuals are becoming increasingly active in choosing and constructing their ethnic identities.Focusing on second-generation South Asian Americans, Bandana Purkayastha offers fresh insights into the subjective experience of race, ethnicity, and social class in an increasingly diverse America. Lucidly written and enriched with vivid personal accounts, Negotiating Ethnicity is an important contribution to the literature on ethnicity and racialization in contemporary American culture.
Book Synopsis Second Generation South Asians by : Rifat Anjum Salam

Book excerpt: The second generation assimilation experience reflects changing assumptions about what it means to be American. This study examines the ways in which one second generation group "becomes American" by analyzing their family experiences, dating and marriage choices and the ways in which they negotiate between the culture of their immigrant parents and mainstream expectations around individualism, autonomy and the navigation of mainstream gender norms. This dissertation focused on the experience of second generation South Asian Americans, and asked how they reconcile "American" ideas and norms around autonomy and egalitarianism with the "traditional" expectations of their families and ethnic communities? Using data from in-depth interviews of 60 male and female respondents between the ages of 21-40 and a life course approach, this study examined the adaptation and assimilation processes experienced by these second generation subjects, part of a largely middle and upper middle class cohort that is often described as the "children of 1965." This study uses a focus on dating and marriage strategies and choices to reveal the complex dilemmas and negotiations, variability and autonomy in the second generation experience. Through the use of qualitative data from interviews and employing a life course approach emphasizing the subjective experience of life choices, three life pathways emerged, the traditional pathway, the independence pathway and the ethnic rebellion pathway, showing this complexity and variability. Each of these pathways revealed different types of autonomy and negotiations of gender expectations, demonstrating the influence of childhood socialization combined with social structural and personal forces in shaping the trajectories individuals take. The social class privilege, family and community resources and model minority status of this second generation cohort resulted both in enhanced career opportunities and a diversity of life choices. Thus, this study demonstrates that the experiences of the second generation show great variability and that the structural circumstances of immigrants influence not just their economic attainment but their personal life choices as well.
Download or read book Here to Stay written by Geetika Rudra and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, South Asians are a rapidly growing demographic in the United States, comprising nearly 2 percent of the population. But there was a time in the not-too-distant past when the United States was far less hospitable to South Asian immigrants. In fact, until 1952, only white immigrants could become naturalized American citizens. Yet in the first half of the twentieth century, many states still had thriving communities of South Asians. In Here to Stay, Geetika Rudra, a second-generation Indian immigrant and American history buff, takes readers on a journey across the country to unearth the little-known histories of earlier generations of South Asian Americans. She visits storied sites such as Oregon’s “Hindoo Alley,” home to many lumber workers at the turn of the century, and Angel Island, California’s immigration hub. She also introduces readers to such inspiring figures as Bhagat Singh Thind, an immigrant who had enlisted in the U.S. Army to serve his adopted country in World War I, but who was later denied citizenship and took his case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In turns both serious and joyful, this book vividly reveals how South Asians have always been a vital part of the American tapestry.

Book Synopsis South Asians on the U.S. Screen by : Bhoomi K. Thakore
Download or read book South Asians on the U.S. Screen written by Bhoomi K. Thakore and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-06-20 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does the media influence society? How do media representations of South Asians, as racial and ethnic minorities, perpetuate stereotypes about this group? How do advancements in visual media, from creative storytelling to streaming technology, inform changing dynamics of all non-white media representations in the 21st century? Analyzing audience perceptions of South Asian characters from The Simpsons, Slumdog Millionaire, Harold and Kumar, The Office, Parks and Recreation, The Big Bang Theory, Outsourced, and many others, Bhoomi K. Thakore argues for the importance of understanding these representations as they influence the positioning of South Asians into the 21st century U.S. racial hierarchy. On one hand, increased acceptance of this group into the entertainment fold has informed audience perceptions of these characters as “just like everyone else.” However, these images remain secondary on the U.S. Screen, and are limited in their ability to break out of traditional stereotypes. As a result, a normative and assimilated white American identity is privileged both on the Screen, and in our increasingly multicultural society.

Book Synopsis Aspiring to Home by : Bakirathi Mani
Download or read book Aspiring to Home written by Bakirathi Mani and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to belong? How are twenty-first-century diasporic subjects fashioning identities and communities that bind them together? Aspiring to Home examines these questions with a focus on immigrants from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Advancing a theory of locality to explain the means through which immigrants of varying regional, religious, and linguistic backgrounds experience what it means to belong, Bakirathi Mani shows how ethnicity is produced through the relationship between domestic racial formations and global movements of class and capital. Aspiring to Home focuses on popular cultural works created by first- and second-generation South Asians from 1999–2009, including those by author Jhumpa Lahiri and filmmaker Mira Nair, as well as public events such as the Miss India U.S.A. pageant and the Broadway musical Bombay Dreams. Analyzing these diverse productions through an interdisciplinary framework, Mani weaves literary readings with ethnography to unravel the constraints of form and genre that shape how we read diasporic popular culture.
