Drawing on autobiographical and semifictional works by women writers from across the Arab world, the study offers a first-hand account of how Arab women view and experience this primary bond. The author uses both early and contemporary writings of Arab women to illuminate the traditional and evolving nature of mother-daughter relationships in Arab families and how these family dynamics reflect and influence modern Arab life. The compelling narratives demystify the institutions of family and motherhood and show the potential of mothers and daughters to transform the patriarchal family and thus the fabric of Arab society. A groundbreaking work that fills a void in cross-cultural studies, it is of interest to scholars and students of Middle Eastern studies, women’s studies, and family studies.Women and gender, the Middle East and the Islamic ;v. 10.Arabic literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticismMothers and daughters in literatureArabs in literatureFamilies in literatureArabic literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticism.Mothers and daughters in literature.Arabs in literature.Families in literature.892.7/0935254Abudi Dalya1485936MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790059503321Mothers and daughters in Arab women's literature3705283UNINA03358nam 2200697Ia 450 991095769790332120200520144314.097815933264871593326483(CKB)2670000000271346(EBL)1057858(OCoLC)818818854(SSID)ssj0000758136(PQKBManifestationID)12276809(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000758136(PQKBWorkID)10772420(PQKB)10682156(MiAaPQ)EBC1057858(Au-PeEL)EBL1057858(CaPaEBR)ebr10622744(Perlego)2028084(EXLCZ)99267000000027134620100409d2010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierJourneys of undocumented Honduran migrants to the United States /Jana Sladkova1st ed.El Paso [Tex.] LFB Scholarly Pub.20101 online resource (185 pages)The new Americans : recent immigration and American societyDescription based upon print version of record.9781593323929 1593323921 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Socio-Historical Context of Honduran Migrants’ Journeys -- Psycho-social Theoretical Framework -- Research Design and Data Analysis -- Public Narratives: Hondura Newspapers and TV -- Constructing Collective Narrative – Script of the Journey -- Individual Experiences and Making of the Self through Narration -- ConclusionsSládková explores undocumented Honduran migration to the United States through interviews with Honduran migrants who made the crossing through Mexico and across the guarded border to the U.S. She examines the factors that contribute to their success or failure: access to finances, ability to hire a coyote, means of transport in Mexico, encounters with Mexican police and immigration. Mexico is the most difficult part of the journey for Honduran migrants. Many are injured or die in the hands of gangs, police, and from freight trains they travel on top of. The U.S.-Mexico border presents only the final barrier; many don't even reach it. Sládková also explores the psychological processes migrants employ to process their experiences of the dangerous journey, which most would never undergo again.New Americans (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)HonduransUnited StatesNoncitizensUnited StatesImmigrantsUnited StatesMigrant laborUnited StatesIllegal immigrationUnited StatesEmigration and immigrationPsychological aspectsHondurasEmigration and immigrationPsychological aspectsHonduransNoncitizensImmigrantsMigrant laborIllegal immigration.973/.004687283Sladkova Jana1803978MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957697903321Journeys of undocumented Honduran migrants to the United States4351801UNINA
