In offering these women the opportunity to tell their own stories of migration and recount their struggles over 'adaptation' in France, Caitlin Killian does a great service to anyone interested in broad issues of immigration, incorporation, and the negotiation of gender categories in the larger Muslim world.\" -- Paul Silverstein * Reed College *\u003cbr\u003e\"Killian makes a worthy contribution to our understanding of first generation North African women who immigrated to France. She illuminates many aspects of the identity work they engage in, as they respond to racism and discrimination. The interviews are fascinating, revealing worlds that are often incommensurable with what many of us take for granted.\" -- Michèle Lamont * Harvard University, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Dignity of Working Men: Morality and the Boundaries of Race, Class and Immigration\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e@fmct:Contents  @toc4:Acknowledgments\tiii  @toc2:Introduction\t1  Chapter 1\tNorth Africans in France\t000  Chapter 2\tCrossing the Street: Gendered Lives from the Maghreb to France\t000  Chapter 3\tEverywhere There Is Good and Bad: Cultural Choices\t000  Chapter 4\tWherever I Go, I Have My House: Identity Negotiation\t000  Chapter 5\tYou Have to Be a Fighter: Coping with Problems in France\t000  Chapter 6\tYou Can't Transplant a Flower Twice: Children and the Future\t000  Conclusion\tClosed Doors and Opened Doors\t000  @toc4:Appendix 1: Methodology\t000  Appendix 2: Participants\t000  Notes\t000  Bibliography\t000  Index\t000","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405565862231,"sku":"9780804754217","price":19.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780804754217.jpg?v=1730492856","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/north-african-women-in-france-9780804754217","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
