[163]-169) and index. 520 $a "The effect of immigration on individual lives is not short-lived. Those who stay permanently in an adopted country go through a continual process of adjustment and learning about both their new country and themselves. The four women profiled in Carol Kelley's poignant book, who moved to new countries not for economic or political reasons, but for marriage, education, or career, challenge immigrant stereotypes as their lives are transformed. The intimate stories of these "accidental" immigrants broaden conventional notions of home. From a Maori woman who moves to Norway to the daughter of an Iranian diplomat now living in France, Kelley weaves together these stories of the personal and emotional effects of immigration with interdisciplinary discussions drawn from anthropology and psychology. Ultimately, she reveals how the lifelong process of immigration affects each woman's sense of identity and belonging and contributes to better understanding today's globalized society."--Publisher's website. 505 0 $a Accidental immigrants: from roots to routes -- Transitions: Negotiating identity in a new culture -- Turning points: realization, transformation, and commitment -- Lejania Cercana: living "closely far" from home. 650 0 $a Immigrants $x Cultural assimilation $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Women immigrants $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Ethnicity $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Group identity $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Transnationalism $v Case studies. 941 $a 2 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724071446.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826070135.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=932FF620B6DB11E2AF0A76A3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
