Abstract:
|
The presentation explores the gendered ways in which native-born sons and daughters of Asian immigrants negotiate their distinctive familial roles during their childhood years and how this results in different views on ethnicity and culture as they transition into adulthood. The presentation is broadly based on 27 in-depth interviews and specifically focused on 9 interviews I conducted with adult sons and daughters of Korean and Chinese immigrant families in the NY metropolitan area over the past two years. I begin by discussing modifications made in the conceptual design based on the diverse roles of siblings in different household structures and diverse manifestations of ethnicity among interviewees. Based on my initial interviews, I then discuss the gendered ways in which Asian Americans interpret their parent’s immigration experiences. In general, sons are more likely to embrace more orthodox aspects of their parent’s culture based on abstract relationships with their father, whereas daughters are more likely to create more innovative interpretations of this culture based on intimate relationships with their mothers. Intergenerational communication is central to understanding how gender, ethnicity, and class come together in shaping the views and behaviors of 2nd generation Asian Americans within the context of different household structures. |

| Gendered Interpretations of Ethnicity and Culture Among Adult Children of Asian Immigrant Families By Angie Y. Chung As compared with European immigrants during the early 20th century immigrant families today are more heterogeneous in terms of their background resources and migration experiences—a situation which has set the context for divergent assimilation paths among the next generation of American-born children (Portes and Rumbaut 2001; Portes and Zhou 1993). Because of these differences families are not similarly equipped to deal with |
| 2nd generation Asian Americans within the context of different household structures. Furthermore there is a need to explore the gendered way ethnic identities and cultural traditions are passed onto the next generation in ways unimagined by traditional scholars in this field. Among those who expressed a stronger sense of ethnic identification sons are more likely to embrace more orthodox aspects of their parent’s culture based on abstract relationships with their father whereas daughters are more likely to create more |
