- Gender Rules: Discrimination and Tradition Among Caribbean-Born Women in US Colleges Tracy A. McFarlane Psicología Migration Caribbean women US higher education The experiences of immigrant women of color within US higher education provide a unique opportunity to understand the complex influences of intersecting identities within the context of changing social contexts. To determine how the social categories of gender, class, race, and nationality operate in Caribbean immigrant women’s experience of being college students, focus groups were conducted with 27 English-speaking Caribbean-born women attending NYCundergraduate colleges. Data showwhen women move to the US they come from gendered cultural traditions that determinedtheir social roles in the Caribbean. For most women, these rules continue to operate in the US. However, gender roles and traditions are not homogenous throughout the Caribbean, hence, there is variation in how they play out inwomen’s experiences in the US. Further, the formerly distinct boundaries between some Caribbean traditions and US traditions are being challenged. These findings underline the complex influence of intersecting identities in women’s roles and call attention tohow they affectsocial identificationin the context of college pursuits and other aspects of their lives.In light of increased cross-cultural contact and globalization these findings provide a better understanding of factors affecting the psychological adjustment of Caribbean immigrant women in the US and have implications for enhancingtheiradaptation across changingsocial contexts. 2017 artículo científico 0034-9690 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=28454546003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=284 Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology application/pdf Sociedad Interamericana de Psicología Revista Interamericana de Psicología/Interamerican Journal of Psychology (Puerto Rico) Num.2 Vol.51
