Family Practices in South Asian Muslim Families : Parenting in a Multi-Faith Britain PDF
by H. Becher
Part of the Palgrave Macmillan Studies in Family and Intimate Life series
Description
Despite the growing multi-faith and multi-ethnic nature of British society, there is insufficient knowledge about diversity in family practices across ethnic and religious groups.
South Asian Muslims within the UK are the focus of particular scrutiny, not least because of growing debates around what it means to be both 'British' and 'Muslim', and the perceived risks of Islamic extremism after recent terrorist attacks.
This fascinating study focuses on parent-child relationships in South Asian Muslim families, paying close attention to the interconnections between family, religious and cultural practices.
Key themes include the belief and value systems that are important in South Asian Muslim family practices; the construction and performance of beliefs and values through cultural consumption; the relationship between family and religious time and space; roles for mothers, fathers and children; connections outside the household as sources of both support and stress.
This book is vital for the understanding and development of culturally sensitive and accessible forms of family support.
