Drawing on theories of postmodernist feminism and transnational
migration, this book explores the lived experiences and migration
narratives of seven Arab immigrant women in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
By examining the gendered meanings and interactions which underpin
discourses of family, community and citizenship in the womens
lives, the author draws a diverse map of personal experiences of
home and belonging in the Canadian and Maritime context. As
migration shifts the terrain of patriarchy in various and often
uneven ways, Abdul-Razzaq discusses how the women encounter new
structural, social and gendered barriers and opportunities once in
the host country. Simultaneously however, attachments to the
sending country continue to contour the research subject's everyday
experiences. Adopting an in-depth qualitative investigation of
belonging, Abdul-Razzaq's ethnographic accounts effectively
demonstrate how the process of migration creates important sites of
difference and negotiation through which the women actively
navigate their identities as immigrants/newcomers, citizens,
workers, daughters, wives, and mothers.
