Resisting the White Pole - A Feminist Ethnographic Study: Second-Generation South Asian-American Women, U.S. Racialization Projects, and the Arranged Marriage
| |
| | Unformatted Document Text:
ABSTRACT
The history of the transatlantic movements of South Asian-Americans proposes that the social production of space is characterized by disciplinary category work. Therefore, through various spaces of cathexis second-generation South Asian-American women validate the categories that define human invisibility. I focus on marriage practices to showcase women’s active efforts towards invisibility. In contrast, the U.S.-South Asian migration is a project which involves contradictory and ambivalent historical and nationalist narratives. Hence, marriage is also a site for visibility or oppositional identifications. This article addresses the acceptance of, manipulation of, and resistance to the white gaze. I accomplish this by presenting data from a feminist ethnography with a cross-national sample of 25 women.

ABSTRACT
The history of the transatlantic movements of South Asian-Americans proposes that the social production of space is
characterized by disciplinary category work. Therefore, through various spaces of cathexis second-generation South
Asian-American women validate the categories that define human invisibility. I focus on marriage practices
to showcase women’s active efforts towards invisibility. In contrast, the U.S.-South Asian migration is a project which
involves contradictory and ambivalent historical and nationalist narratives. Hence, marriage is also a site for visibility
or oppositional identifications. This article addresses the acceptance of, manipulation of, and resistance to the white
gaze. I accomplish this by presenting data from a feminist ethnography with a cross-national sample of 25 women.
