Indian immigrant women are a growing minority within the
multicultural spaces of New Zealand society; yet despite the long
history of Indian settlers in New Zealand, the experiences of
Indian women settling in a new and unfamiliar environment have been
largely overlooked. International migration is a complex process
involving multiple changes in physical, economic, political, social
and cultural aspects of context; within which a range of
transitions relating to place and occupation unfold. The
significance of this work is that it reveals how the everyday
occupations of Indian immigrant women are constantly modified
through their interaction and interpretations of the environment,
thus allowing them to move between and within the multicultural
spaces of New Zealand society. This gives rise to the theory of
Navigating Cultural Spaces which frames settlement as an ongoing
and dynamic process. The analysis provides new perspectives on
settlement processes that occur within the context of immigration
and should be especially useful to scholars and policy makers in
the fields of sociology, occupational science and immigration
studies.
