Education was Equally Important for All Us Siblings”
This article explores the culture of aspirations for mobility through higher education in middle-class Indian families. Drawing on a study of adult sibling relationships among middle-class Indians, we explore the character and consequences of this culture as revealed in the retrospective accounts of 38 women and men from middle-class families. Our investigations show the centrality of siblings and comparisons between them in the organisation of f…
Making sense of sibling economic gaps
Decolonizing Migration Studies
The essays in this special section originate from a 2022 panel discussion on decolonizing migration studies. The authors reflect on the sociology of migration field in the United States and their own intellectual trajectories. They discuss the challenges of shifting the field away from its focus on migrant integration within national borders and propose a variety of decolonizing strategies, from interrogating established categories of migration t…
The Micro-politics of Recognition and Care
This article offers the concept of 'economies of recognition' to analyze the moral frames that siblings caring for left-behind parents in China use to negotiate intimate connections to their emigrant brothers and sisters. We argue that the impact of family dislocation on sibling relations is shaped by family members' co-constructed relational infrastructure. Our findings identify four types of relational infrastructure-collaboration, intrusion/in…
Living religions across transnational spaces
This paper focuses on women of Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani origin in the US diaspora to examine how religious identities unfold within multi-layered transnational structures that range from political histories and events to active webs of family and community relationships that stretch across the diaspora. Our analysis draws on focus groups and interviews with highly educated Hindu and Muslim women in the US. For these women, approaches to …
Deserving Immigrants and Good Advocate Mothers
Drawing on observational data and 30 in-depth interviews, we examine how immigrant mothers of color from diverse class, ethnic, and racial backgrounds negotiate public special education services for their children with severe intellectual disabilities. Special education systems in the United States emphasize parental involvement and oversight in the process of developing appropriate service packages for children. The intersection of these expecta…

‘Let’s hope the Boston Marathon Bomber is a White American’
This paper examines public discourse on race, whiteness and Muslims through an in-depth exploration of an online media controversy following the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings. On 16 April, the day after the attacks, the liberal magazine Salon.com published David Sirota’s article, ‘Let’s Hope the Boston Marathon Bomber is a White American’. A firestorm of commentary followed, with conservatives defending the profiling of Muslims, and accusing Siro…
FamiliesBelongTogether
Family reunification is widely seen as a relatively stable feature of the contemporary U.S. immigration regime protected by the nation’s liberal democratic institutions and humanitarian values. Drawing on critical scholarship that situates immigration policies in racial nation‐building projects, this article explores the development of U.S. family‐based admission policies from 1965 to the early 2000s. I bring attention to the role of racial famil…
Imagining the Radicalized Muslim
The authors explore the production of anti-Muslim racial discourse through a study of media coverage of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, widely seen as among the most significant acts of "homegrown" (i.e., born and/or raised in Western societies) Muslim terrorism on U.S. soil since 9/11. Drawing on news accounts and accompanying online reader comments from the Boston Globe, CBS Boston, and the New York Times, the authors examine the emergence o…

This entry offers an introduction to the concept of endogamy and its implications for the study of race and ethnicity.
Diaspora Diversity
This article offers a comparative analysis of the multifaceted dimensions of generation in the Bangladeshi Muslim diaspora communities of Britain and the United States. Studies of Muslim immigrant communities in North America and Western Europe have noted a growing social, cultural, and political chasm between the immigrant foreign-born and their non-immigrant second-generation progeny. At the heart of this “Muslim generation gap” are the intensi…

Effective implementation of the WHO international Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) is the key to controlling the tobacco epidemic. Within countries, strong national tobacco control capacity is the primary determinant for successful implementation of the FCTC. This case study of tobacco control policy describes the experience of building national tobacco control capacity in Vietnam under the Reduce Smoking in Vietnam Partnership proj…

Transnational marriage and the Bangladeshi Muslim diaspora in Britain and the United States
Transnational marriage is a practice by which members of diasporas are united in matrimony with persons in the homeland. In this paper, I explore the history and development of transnational marriage in the Bangladeshi Muslim diaspora, specifically among British Bangladeshis and Bangladeshi Americans. A distinct history of migration and settlement has resulted in the particular prominence of transnational marriage in the British Bangladeshi commu…
Muslims in Motion
In Muslims in Motion, Nazli Kibria provides a comparative look at Bangladeshi Muslims in different global contexts--including Britain, the U.S., the Middle East, and Malaysia. Kibria examines international migrant flows from Bangladesh, and considers how such migrations continue to shape Islamization in these areas. Having conducted more than 200 in-depth interviews, she explores how, in societies as different as these, migrant Muslims, in their …
Cultural Impacts of Sisimpur, Sesame Street, in Rural Bangladesh
Sisimpur is an educational children's television program in Bangladesh that is co-produced by Sesame Workshop, the makers of Sesame. Street. Sisimpur's goals include the support of Early Childhood Development (ECD) objectives in Bangladesh, such as the teaching of pre-academic skills to young children. In this paper we draw on qualitative research to explore how Sisimpur and its benefits are viewed by the family inembers and teachers of children …
Muslim encounters in the global economy
The contemporary international migrations of Muslims are associated with a rise in religiosity, specifically with a rise in engagements with orthodox and revivalist practices and movements of Islam. In this article, I examine the narratives of `life while abroad' of 47 returned Bangladeshi Muslim labor migrants to the Middle East. For these largely unskilled, male migrants, the experience of living in Muslim states had produced a sharp and multif…
The 'new Islam' and Bangladeshi youth in Britain and the US
In this paper I look at the growth of revivalist Islam - the 'new Islam' - within Muslim migrant communities in Western societies. I do so through a comparative analysis of how Bangladesh-origin Muslims in Britain and the US view and understand revivalist Islam, especially its popularity among youth within their communities. I explore the effects of national context, exploring the ways in which variations of history and context of settlement shap…
Endogamy
“Endogamy” refers to in‐group marriage, or a pattern of marriage in which the partners have a shared group affiliation. Its conceptual counterpoint is exogamy, or a pattern of marriage in which the partners are different in their group affiliation. For scholars of race and ethnic relations, the significance of endogamy stems from its relationship to group boundaries and the processes by which they are maintained, transgressed, and negotiated. Ind…
The construction of 'Asian American
Drawing on sixty in-depth interviews, this article examines the development of a pan-Asian American identity among second-generation middle-class Chinese and Korean Americans. I explore conceptions of ethnicity through an analysis of their attitudes and beliefs about intermarriage across racial and ethnic lines. The analysis reveals a process of pan-Asian American ethnogenesis at work, one that involves the construction of an Asian American cultu…
The contested meanings of 'Asian American
This article explores the contested meanings of the 'Asian American' concept in the US today. Since its emergence in the late 1960s, 'Asian American' has been defined by pan-Asian groups and organizations in the US as a collectivity bound by shared racial interests. Contemporary conditions have sharpened and highlighted the inherent contradictions and ambiguities of this conception of 'Asian American' as a racial interest group. Especially import…

Race, Ethnic Options, and Ethnic Binds
This article examines the dynamics of race and ethnic options for those racially labeled 'Asian' in U.S. society. Drawing on sixty-four in-depth interviews with second-generation Chinese and Korean Americans, I look at how Asian racial categorization and its dynamics shape informal, everyday social encounters between Asians and non-Asians. These dynamics suggest an ethnic bind - a sense of uncertainty and conflict about the meaning and significan…
Power, Patriarchy, and Gender Conflict in the Vietnamese Immigrant Community
Based on an ethnographic study of women's social groups and networks in a community of Vietnamese immigrants recently settled in the United States, this article explores the effects of migration on gender roles and power. The women's groups and networks play an important role in the exchange of social and economic resources among households and in the mediation of disputes between men and women in the family. These community forms are an importan…
Household Structure and Family Ideologies
Using materials from an ethnographic study of newly arrived Vietnamese refugees in Philadelphia, this article argues that household structure and family ideology play a critical role in the dynamics of immigrant economic adaptation. The study shows the Vietnamese refugee households that were more heterogeneous in age and gender composition to be more adept at “patchworking” or gathering together a wide variety of resources from diverse social and…

Culture, Social Class, and Income Control in the Lives of Women Garment Workers in Bangladesh
This article looks at the income-related experiences of women workers in Bangladesh in the export garment industry, the first modern industry in the country to employ large numbers of women. The analysis draws on in-depth interviews with 34 female sewing machine operators at five factories. Despite the traditionally low economic autonomy of Bangladeshi women, the women's ability to control their income was varied, and in fact, a substantial numbe…
