The Daughters of Immigrants

A Multidisciplinary Study

Edited by Asha Jeffers and Catherine Bryan - Contributions by Catherine Bryan; Xuemei Cao; Yareli Castro Sevilla; Angie Y. Chung; Joanna Dreby; Robin E. Field; Nalini Iyer; Asha Jeffers; Myia Samuels; Tarika Sankar and Daniela Ugarte Villalobos

This collection brings together established and emerging scholars from the humanities and the social sciences whose work considers the daughters of immigrants. By showcasing these varied perspectives, the collection draws meaningful connections across national and ethnic lines while attending to the particularities of specific histories, locations, and migration journeys. The multidisciplinary nature of this project highlights the relevance and usefulness of varied methodological and theoretical approaches for understanding the diverse lived experiences of the daughters of immigrants, as well as how those experiences are theorized and represented. While each chapter contains its own argument, assumes its own conceptual and disciplinary viewpoint, and tends to specific national and ethnic origins and sites of immigration, each offers meaningful insight into the gendered positionality of the daughters of immigrants as mediated by the complexities of migration, kinship, and culture. Taken together, these contributions point to the nuanced ways national, ethnic, and gendered identity function, and how those not always well served by how these identities are constituted understand and navigate forces beyond their control.

A book for moving the conversation forward. The Daughters of Immigrants does the very important work of bringing humanities and social science inquiries to the same table and helps to surface patterns greater than the sum of its parts.
