Women of the Diaspora

This volume explores the psychological, cultural, and intergenerational impact of post-WWII migration on women in Australia, revealing how migration reshaped lives across generations as well as how women navigate the tensions between heritage and assimilation. Women of the Diaspora: Generational Transformations offers fresh insights into the experiences of women who migrated in the aftermath of World War Two.The contributors examine migration not just as a geographical shift but as a deeply economic, psychological, and intercultural journey—one that profoundly reshaped women’s identities and understandings of ethnicity. The volume also explores the lives of the next generation—daughters of diasporic migrants—whose experiences are shaped by a constant negotiation between the cultural traditions of their parents and the values of their new homelands.
