Preface This research is a collaborative partnership established with the Network on Behalf of Battered Immigrant Women (hereafter the “Network”). The advisory board of the research project consisted of the co-chairs of the Network, our partners in the study-- Leslye Orloff, Gail Pendleton and Leni Marin--and members of the Network who work with different immigrant populations or in related capacities in various parts of the country--David Durand (Wisconsin), Lori Guzman (Texas), Christine Marriott (Pennsylvania), and Sujata Warrior (New York). The advisory board members, particularly the co-chairs, provided invaluable advice on multiple issues related to the project. They also played a significant role in our ability to access one of the most hard- to-reach populations--immigrant battered women. There is no doubt that without their informed advice and relentless efforts in making contacts, we would not have been able to tell the stories of so many different immigrant women. Our partners also undertook a critical role in convincing the overextended and overworked providers of legal and social services to immigrant populations, particularly those who serve women, to take time from their busy schedules and respond to the survey questionnaires. Without our partners’ help, the service providers’ experiences associated with working with this disadvantaged population and their frustrations, obstacles, and rewards would not have been documented in this report.

Special thanks go to the many bilingual social service providers who conducted the interviews of the battered immigrant women in the victims/survivors’ native language. These dedicated interviewers from numerous programs or organizations worked in the following places: Clinica Monsignor Oscar Romero, Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA), Central American Resource Center (CARFCEN), the Legal Foundation of Los Angeles (LAFLA), Glendale YWCA in Glendale, Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence in Ventura, and Asian Women’s Shelter and Mujeres y Unidas Activas in San Francisco--all in California; Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Service (ACCESS) in Detroit, Michigan; Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center in Miami, Florida; New York State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence in New York, New York; Iowa Coalition Against Domestic Violence in Des Moines, Iowa; The Political Asylum Project in Austin, Texas; Jewish Family Services in Cleveland, Ohio; Northwest Immigrant Center in Seattle, Washington, and the Miles Foundation in Connecticut. The service providers not only helped in identifying battered immigrant women willing to be interviewed but also volunteered their time, spending numerous hours interviewing the women well beyond what had been called for in their contracts. Their assistance and interviewing efforts were vital for overcoming interviewees’ language barriers and fear of talking to strangers--obstacles which could have defeated any attempt to interview this vulnerable and fearful population. The different data sets presented in these chapters were diligently processed by Shayna Chazin, Jae Russ, Melissa Solomon, Brandon Winarchick, and Marc Swatt.

Introduction Migration is a worldwide phenomenon affecting a large number of people. The United Nations Population Division and the UN High Commission for Refugees (1993) estimate that at a minimum, two percent of the world’s population are migrants. Furthermore, the rapid globalization of the worldk economies and political environments will ensure that the number of migrants, at least half of whom are women (in some countries, women account for the overwhelming majority of migrants), will increase substantially in all of the worldk major geographical regions well into the 21st century (Teitelbaum and Russel, 1994). Migration exacerbates the gender-linked vulnerability of women. It makes women further dependent on and at times puts them at the mercy of their husbands or intimate partners, sponsors or employers, nuclear or extended families, and their own ethnichacia1 communities (Erez, 200 1). Violence against women, or gender violence, has been recognized as a special risk for immigrant or refugee women (Erez, 2001; Kelly, 1999; Perilla, 1999). Recent research in the U.S. has confirmed that violence against women is one of the most common victimizations experienced by immigrants (Davis and Erez, 1998). Yet there has been little systematic research on the victimization of immigrants in general and women immigrants in particular.

  • The Colour Distinction
    Resilient Resistance: Understanding the Construction of Positive Ethnocultural Identity in Visible Minority Youth by Elizabeth Shen A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Administration and Leadership Department of Educational Policy Studies University of Alberta © Elizabeth Shen, 2018 ii Abstract Visible minority youth face racism daily at micro, mezzo and macro-levels and yet there is a gap in academic research that examines how these students can combat racism, as they experience it at the micro-level, in order to develop pride toward their minority culture and race. As such, this dissertation explores how visible minority youth, who are living within a dominant culture environment where all levels of racism exist to encourage their assimilation, are able to express positive ethnocultural identity. In doing so, this dissertation seeks to answer the question of: How do visible minority youth build positive personal ethnocultural identity? with the corresponding question of: How do visible minority students externally express ethnocultural identity? Using case study methodology within two schools in the province of Alberta, visible minority adolescent students were interviewed and data were analyzed to gain insight into the various strategies that junior high school (grades 7, 8 and 9) students use to express their ethnocultural identity. I learned that students build ethnocultural identity by: 1. seeking and embracing cultural knowledge; 2. accepting feelings

This dissertation addresses the central question- How are parenting methodologies across the sending and receiving nations shaped by larger macro forces embedded in economy and labor market forces? In order to answer this key question this project analyzes interviews with 59 middle-class mothers in Edison, New Jersey and Kolkata, India. This project contributes to the larger scope of immigration and transnational studies while placing them at the cross section of globalization of economy, labor market and education. The first chapter examines extensively the schooling systems in Edison and Kolkata and the ways it shapes parenting methods in these two locations.

  • Juneau Town/East Town
    Approximate boundaries: N-E. Ogden Ave (partial) E. State St;S -E. Clybourn St; E-E-Lincoln Memorial Dr;W -Milwaukee River DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION East Town (also known as Juneau Town) is a densely populated neighborhood with a variety of housing styles. There are many 19th century houses in the Tudor, Queen Anne and Italianate styles integrated with multi-unit apartment buildings and newer condos. The neighborhood has some wide boulevards with green space in the medians. The streets generally follow a grid pattern; the exceptions to this are Water Street and Prospect Avenue. Water Street tracks the bend of the river and Prospect Avenue follows the curve of the bluff over Lake Michigan along Juneau Park. The topography is flat except for a hill that slopes down to the river beginning around Jefferson Street. Most of Juneau Park is in East Town. There are two monuments in Juneau Park--one is a statue of Solomon Juneau and the other of Leif Erikson. Cathedral Square is a small park in the center of the neighborhood and hosts numerous events throughout the year (see outings section and neighborhood photos below). HISTORY East Town owes its origins to Solomon Juneau. In the 1830s Juneau platted the village of Milwaukee and settled there. He began selling plots of land in what was becoming known as Juneau Town. He set the location for downtown when he and his wife Josette opened a trading post at today’s Water Street and Wisconsin Avenue. Juneau went on to become the first mayor of Milwaukee in 1846 and the city’s first postmaster.

The widely held stereotypes of Chinese immigrants as super-achievers and a ―model minority‖ may dangerously hide the problems that many Chinese immigrant families face upon immigrating. In this dissertation, I share findings generated from the narrative inquiry of sixteen Chinese immigrant parents. The study was to uncover multiple realities related to the parenting experiences constructed by Chinese immigrant parents in their given social, cultural, and personal circumstances. Guiding this inquiry is the bioecological model, which provides an overarching framework to address all the factors that possibly influence immigrants‘ parenting.
