Title
Renegotiating Home and Identity: Experiences of Gujarati Immigrant Women in Suburban Montreal
Abstract
An examination of the meaning of home for 19 Hindu Gujarati immigrant women living in Dollard-des-Ormeaux. Adopting a qualitative approach, the author redefines home as a multiple and dynamic concept referring not only to the house but also the homeland, neighbourhood, cultural community and even the abstract feeling of belonging or being “at home.”
