摘要

有色人种女性移民在美国高等教育中的经历为我们提供了一个独特的机会,来理解在不断变化的社会背景下,交叉身份的复杂影响。为了确定性别、阶级、种族和国籍的社会类别如何在加勒比移民女性大学生经历中发挥作用,我们对27名在纽约市本科学院就读的讲英语的加勒比出生女性进行了焦点小组研究。数据显示,当女性移民到美国时,她们来自性别文化传统,这些文化传统决定了她们在加勒比地区的社会角色。对于大多数女性来说,这些规则在美国仍然有效。然而,整个加勒比地区的性别角色和传统并不相同,因此,在美国女性的经历中,性别角色和传统的表现也有所不同。此外,一些加勒比传统和美国传统之间以前截然不同的界限正在受到挑战。这些发现强调了交叉身份对女性角色的复杂影响,并引起人们关注它们如何影响她们在大学追求和生活其他方面的社会认同。鉴于跨文化接触和全球化的增加,这些发现提供了更好地理解影响美国加勒比移民妇女心理调整的因素,并对增强她们在不断变化的社会背景下的适应具有重要意义。

Gender Rules: Discrimination and tradition among Caribbean-born women in US colleges
The experiences of immigrant women of color withinUShigher education provide a unique opportunity to understand the complex influences of intersecting identities within the context of changing social contexts. To determine how the social categories of gender, class, race, and nationality operate in Caribbean immigrant women’s experience of being college students, focus groups were conducted with 27 English-speaking Caribbean-born women attending NYC undergraduate colleges. Data show when women move to the US they come from gendered cultural traditions that determined their social roles in the Caribbean. For most women, these rules continue to operate in the US. However, gender roles and traditions are not homogenous throughout the Caribbean, hence, there is variation in how they play out in women’s experiences in the US. Further, the formerly distinct boundaries between some Caribbean traditions and US traditions are being challenged. These findings underline the complex influence of intersecting identities in women’s roles and call attention to how they affect social identification in the context of college pursuits and other aspects of their lives. In light of increased cross-cultural contact and globalization these findings provide a better understanding of factors affecting the psychological adjustment of Caribbean immigrant women in the US and have implications for enhancing their adaptation across changing social contexts.
