Description

Product Description Despite the growing presence of intercultural couples in the United States and worldwide, their stories often go untold. In Intercultural Couples, Jill Bystydzienski provides a rare and comprehensive understanding of the multidimensional experiences of intercultural couples, drawing mainly upon in-depth interviews with persons living in domestic partnerships—heterosexual and same-sex—representing a broad spectrum of ethnic, racial, religious, socioeconomic, and national backgrounds. In these relationships, each partner brings a different set of cultural experiences that may include gender expectations, ideas about appropriate relations with family members, childrearing, financial matters, and general lifestyle. Sometimes differences may be unrecognized or seen as minimal, yet some can become salient, forming the basis for conflict, enriching diversity, or both. Bystydzienski’s findings show that, despite hurtful incidents from persons outside the couple partnerships, intercultural unions are a source of satisfaction for the partners, and are able to bridge divisions and reduce inequalities between persons of diverse backgrounds, providing a rich portrait of how these couples negotiate their identities as individuals and as couples in relation to the outside world. Review Intercultural Couples provides a nuanced and timely book-length study of couples both heterosexual and same sex...Bystydzienski's monograph is an essential contribution to the literature on families and intercultural relations.-- "International Journal of Comparative Sociology" About the Author Jill M. Bystydzienski is Professor and Chair of Women’s Studies at Ohio State University and co-editor of Forging Radical Alliances across Difference: Coalition Politics for the New Millennium.
