Shortlisted for the BSA Philip Abrams Memorial Prize 2017 Against
long-standing characterizations of British Asians as 'flying the
flag' for traditional life, this book identifies an increase in
marital breakdown and argues to reorient debates about conservatism
and authoritarianism in British Asian families. Qureshi draws on a
rich ethnographic study of marital breakdown among working class
Pakistani Muslims in order to unpick the grounds of marital
conflict, the manoeuvres couples undertake in staying together,
their interactions with divorce laws and their moral reasonings
about post-divorce family life. Marital Breakdown among British
Asians argues against individualization approaches, demonstrating
the embeddedness of couples in extended family relations, whilst at
the same time showing that Pakistani marriages and divorces do not
deviate in all respects from wider marital separation trajectories
in Britain. Providing new insights into how marital breakdown is
changing the contours of British Asian families, this book will be
essential reading for scholars and students, clinicians working in
couple or family therapy, social workers and legal practitioners.
