Cultural Identities in Transition

Rezensionen / Stimmen

This brilliant work uniquely examines how Saudi Arabian mothers adapted to their new cultural environment in New Zealand through a community of social practice. The book provides excellent insights into the difficult task of acculturation that most immigrants experience in terms of identity adjustments, especially for parenting and children's education in a new country. * Thomas S. C. Farrell, Brock University, Canada * An essential read for understanding the unique experiences of Saudi international families, this book sheds light on the often-overlooked journeys of Saudis in New Zealand and beyond. A compelling exploration of acculturation and daily life, it addresses a much-needed perspective in the field. Highly recommended. * Youmna Deiri, Texas A&M International University, USA * Yaghi and Barnard offer a unique and valuable perspective on acculturation processes by focusing on the experiences of Saudi women living in New Zealand and providing insights into the challenges and opportunities encountered among this demographic. Through rich narratives, this book makes a timely contribution to our understanding of identity (re)negotiation and its role in social and linguistic acculturation. * Farah Ali, DePauw University, USA *
