Conflict and Compatibility in Punjabi-Mexican Immigrant Families in Rural California: 1915-1965
Abstract
Combining historical & interview data (N not given) from northern & southern Calif, the interethnic families formed after 1915 in Ru Calif by immigrant men from India & their spouses of Hispanic background are examined. Patterns of childrearing & family life are described, & the M & F networks linking these families to each other & to the wider society are analyzed. By 1965 the transitory nature of this unique "Mexican-Hindu" community & the regional divergencies within it had become clear; to explain these developments, focus is on compatibility & conflict in family life over the life cycle, as well as changing conditions external to the family. 1 Table, 25 References.
