Eyes of a Storm-The Voices of South Asian- American Women

Roksana Badruddoja

4.9/5 (14623 ratings)

Description: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.
