Accepted Paper:
Patriarchy and Islam in Lives of Central Asian Immigrant Men in the US: Preliminary Findings
Jildyz Urbaeva
(University at Albany)
Paper long abstract:
Islam and patriarchy have strong influence on gender socialization in Central Asia. Both institutions offer support systems in situations of stress and adversity and offer guidelines for life-cycle events. As well, they offer prescriptions for masculinity and gender-related norms and expectations. However, it is unclear how these institutions influence men's lives after they become immigrants in the US. This study will aim to explore the utility of Islam and patriarchal norms in the assimilation and acculturation experiences of Central Asian male immigrants in the US. The study will be guided by grounded theory method. Data (n = 15) will be collected in the greater New York city area. Preliminary results will be presented during the CESS conference.
