Abstract:
|
Muslim women are perceived to have predominantly traditional self-identities and social roles and thus are believed to be less adept to adjust to modern societies. The truth is, immigrant women?s experiences in general and Muslim women?s experiences as immigrants in particular are quite diverse and complex. Within today?s increasingly globalizing world, more and more Muslim women find themselves in modern or modernizing situations and are able to successfully adjust their traditional selves to fit the needs of a modern lifestyle. In this paper I will look at first and second generation Muslim women in the US to find out how different factors (i.e. psychological, religious and cultural) affect their adjustment process and how they cope with the demands of the US society. |
