| Zusammenfassung: | Immigration from South Asia to Italy is a recent phenomenon and novel in
that the pioneer migrants are often married or single women rather than men. In this
article I explore the relationship between a ‘feminization of migration’ and the
construction of masculine identities among Malayali migrants from Kerala, South
India, who experience migration directly or indirectly through marriages with
Malayali women living and working in Rome. The interest in focusing on the relation
between women’s pioneer role as migrants and their husbands’ experiences of
migration is to show how men’s identity is represented through their conjugal bond
with migrant women working in the domestic sector and to understand how
masculinity is constructed and contested within and with reference to different places. |
