Abstract

ABSTRACT Focusing on communal discourses among South Asian groups in Tanzania, the author highlights the manner in which discourses around religion, caste and race shape gendered patterns of migration and marriage and the everyday politics of social boundaries in an immigrant community. The article demonstrates how discursive processes operating at the community level mediate between the household and the broader political economic processes. It also illustrates that although discourses, boundaries and social relations are easily modified in response to changing circumstances, new narratives and ideologies frequently emerge to ensure that the predominant balance of power in a community is not disturbed significantly.

坦桑尼亚南亚移民的公共话语、婚姻与性别社会边界政治

作者聚焦于坦桑尼亚南亚群体的公共话语，重点介绍了围绕宗教、种姓和种族的话语如何塑造移民和婚姻的性别模式，以及移民社区中社会边界的日常政治。本文展示了在社区层面运行的话语过程如何在家庭和更广泛的政治经济过程之间进行调解。它还表明，尽管话语、边界和社会关系很容易随着环境的变化而改变，但新的叙述和意识形态经常出现，以确保社区中占主导地位的权力平衡不会受到重大干扰。
