Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Aswad examines the changing roles and different experiences
of Arab-American women based on interviews with twenty Yemeni and twenty Lebanese, Muslim
immigrant women in Dearborn, Michigan. The change has been both good and bad. On the one
hand women miss the larger kin networks of home, on the other hand, they value their
freedom from their husbands' kin and mothers-in-law. In America, women have less of a role
to play outside the home, which is not only boring for them, but also undermines their
authority in the home. Women lose control of their children, who acculturate and assimilate
more quickly, and they are blamed by their husbands for their children's apparent
rebellious behavior. This among other factors, such as the economic recession and massive
layoffs in the automobile industry, took its toll on the family.
