Domestic violence against women is an oppressive condition that
extends across race, class, and gender. This work examines intimate
partner violence against women in Memphis, Tennessee, focusing on
Mexican immigrant and Mexican American female survivors of domestic
violence. Author M. Helena Vanderlei Collins interviews ten Mexican
immigrant women and seven Mexican American women to investigate
factors that influence help-seeking behavior. Collins focuses on
the perceptions of Mexican immigrant and Mexican American women
regarding the social services available to them and explores how
their help-seeking behavior is affected by their degree of
acculturation and the incidence of intimate partner violence.
Collins employs a combination of quantitative and qualitative
methods to answer seven key research questions. The quantitative
instruments include "ARSMA-II, " the "Inventory of Abusive
Behavior, " and a customized demographic questionnaire. The
qualitative data is drawn from the semi-structured interviews with
the domestic violence survivors. Collins concludes her study by
describing the challenges women of Hispanic origin face when
seeking help from social service providers and by offering
recommendations on how to improve the quality of services these
women receive.
