Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: ?Women change minds when they come here?, ?Men are envious and want to control our lives? are two viewpoints that illustrate the tensions about power relations among Senegalese in New York City. ?Change minds? means here that they view differently marital relations, their social status and claim more rights. This paper deals with the changing roles of Senegalese women immigrants in New York City and their renegociation of gender roles in a transnational context. The last two decades have seen large numbers of Senegalese women migrating to the United States either to join their husbands or as individual economic migrants. A significant number of Senegalese men live in New York City where they work as taxi drivers, traders, security guards and employees. As for women, they work mainly in the haibraiding, trading and catering sectors and it is believed that they make more money than men. This increasing economic power and the backdrop of the American cultural context advocating empowerment of women give them new pshychological and material (legal) tools to challenge traditional gender relations. The paper describes the tensions occuring mainly around the control of women?s bodies, morality and religiosity. Further, it analyses how traditional cultural values and islamic teaching are re/appropriated and re/interpreted by both men and women to shift perceptions and redefine the concept and content of their identities as Senegalese and Muslims. It also states that the dual perception of gender roles and identity changes is a key element among the Senegalese immigants in New York City. The questions and conflicts around the control of women?s economic means and social life demonstrate that migration is fundamentally a gendered phenomenon.The paper is based on ethnographic data gathered during a field research in New York between July 2002 and January 2003 and in November and December 2005.
