Périnatalité et parcours de vie de femmes sud-asiatiques récemment immigrées à Montréal
|
Abstract |
The author notes that in recent years the number of children from mothers born outside of Canada has outpaced the number of children from mothers born in Canada. While pregnancy results in a lot of significant changes for all mothers, those changes can be exacerbated when the pregnancy is combined with the migratory experience. The author points out that although existing research has already documented some of the challenges experienced by immigrant women during their perinatal period, there has been no research on South Asian women living in Quebec. Thus, the author documents the life courses of South Asian pregnant women recently immigrated in Montreal. More specifically, she focuses on questions of identity for the women interviewed, their respective socialization, their projects, and their immigration paths and experiences. The author's data was collected using a qualitative methodological approach. It is primarily based on twenty-five biographical narratives of the perinatal period of South Asian women. These women were pregnant or recently gave birth, emigrated for less than ten years and were living in the Parc-Extension district of Montreal, a place where many South Asian immigrants settle in Quebec.
