Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In the Dearborn, Michigan area a number of factors have
operated against women's employment. Some of these major factors discussed by Aswad in this
article '…are lack of skills and education; fewer piecemeal or part-time jobs than in the
Middle East; the 'rich peasant' mentality of husbands from villages with its emphasis on
increased female modesty and a restricted environment; increasing Islamic values operating
in a host country that does not seem to value premarital chastity; restrictions (including,
sometimes, educational) placed by some mothers on their daughters even though theoretically
they accept the idea of employment and education for them; and restrictions of the
male-dominant auto industry in contrast to family-run businesses' (p. 515). The author
explores each of these factors fully in the text.
