The Chaldeans are an immigrant group with nearly a century long presence in the Detroit metropolitan area. Because of social pressures abroad, the group has been continuously renewed by newcomers throughout the 20th century. The result is a segmented gender experience across immigrant cohort and generation that can be followed by differences in how men and women negotiate a gender system. While research is formative at this stage (but will be complete for the ASA conference), some patterns are emerging. The second generation women, whose mothers are of the older immigrant cohort, are exploiting opportunities in education and employment that defy the experiences of their mothers or immigrant women coming in the 1980s and 1990s. These young women are benefiting from the resources generated by an ethnic economy. And with increasing familiarity with US norms and expanded employment opportunities, there has developed new expectations for how men and women will live together in the second generation. In this paper, I will interrogate the change in the Chaldean gender system as a link between community social institutions and the broader social institutions of the Detroit region. The goal is to identify how gender shapes opportunities and patterns social interactions for Chaldean men and women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
