  • Paradoxes of Being and Becoming South Asian Single Mothers

    P Banerjee, Soulit Chacko et al.ARTICLEWomen Gender and Families of Color2020Cited by: 2References: 5

    Based on ethnography in a South Asian ethnic enclave and in-depth interviews with South Asian immigrant women, including single mothers working in the enclave, we explore the becoming and being of South Asian single motherhood. We specifically inquire how the becoming of single mothers affects the work–family lives of the mothers in an enclave economy. We show that the interplays of structural forces like immigration laws, racialized model-minori…

  • Does Your Body Know Who You Know? Multiple Roles of Network Members' Socioeconomic Status for Body Weight Ratings

    Open AccessLijun Song, Philip J Pettis et al.ARTICLESociological Perspectives2017Cited by: 3References: 83

    Combining the theory of social capital with work on three social factors, respectively, socioeconomic status (SES), gender, and lifestyle, this study examines four roles of accessed SES (network members' SES) for body weight ratings: direct association, indirect association through lifestyle, mediating role in the relationship between SES and body weight ratings, and interaction with gender. Analyzing data from the 2004 U.S. General Social Survey…

We do event history analyses of a new and unique dataset that includes information from approximately eighteen hundred households in ni…

  • Ethnic Groups

    Open AccessJohn Stone, Bhumika PiyaCHAPTERWiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of…2015

    Ethnic groups are among the most fundamental units in most societies. Unlike kinship groups that are based on common biological ancestry, ethnicity is the result of a belief in common origins that may have little or no genetic reality. Nevertheless, members of ethnic groups often share a sense of common historical origins, a common culture and often the same religion and language. When ethnic groups desire to establish autonomous political contro…

  • The Double Disadvantage Reconsidered

    Open AccessKatharine M Donato, Bhumika Piya et al.ARTICLEInternational Migration Review2014Cited by: 30References: 42

    Although women's representation among international migrants in many countries has risen over the last 100 years, we know far less about gender gaps in the labor force participation of immigrants across a wide span of host societies. Prior studies have established that immigrant women are doubly disadvantaged in terms of labor market outcomes in the U.S., Canada, and Israel. These studies suggest an intriguing question: Are there gender gaps in i…

  • Ethnic Groups

    Open AccessJohn Stone, John Dingfelder Stone et al.OTHERThe Blackwell Encyclopedia of…2007

    Ethnic groups are fundamental units of social organization which consist of members who define themselves, or are defined, by a sense of common historical origins that may also include religious beliefs, a similar language, or a shared culture. Their continuity over time as distinct groups is achieved through the intergenerational transmission of culture, traditions, and institutions. Ethnic groups can be distinguished from kinship groups in as m…
