Abstract

Research on migration often presents adaptation to Western societies as a linear and uniform process, drawing mostly on Berry’s acculturation model. This framework, however, tends to overlook immigrants lived experiences, particularly the gendered and socio-cultural contexts that shape women’s migration journeys. Women’s experiences should influence immigration policies and resettlement practices. In practice, such policies derive from androcentric perspectives. In this paper, we report on a qualitative study that explored pre- and post-migration experiences of 10 South Asian immigrant women in Canada, with a focus on how they negotiated cultural expectations and constructed hybrid identities during the resettlement and adaptation process. An integrated, postcolonial feminist intersectional framework, informed by theories of intersectionality and cultural hybridity, guided the analysis. Data were collected through in-depth individual interviews. The findings show that participants encountered intersecting structural and representational barriers, including family kinship systems, gendered cultural expectations, and limited access to resources such as childcare. At the same time, women actively exercised agency by selectively drawing on both heritage and host cultural norms to form hybrid identities. The study highlights the fluid and context-specific nature of adaptation in the host country and findings challenge generalized assumptions that immigrant women share uniform experiences. By incorporating pre-migration histories and post-migration negotiations, this research contributes to a globally relevant understanding of immigrant women’s adaptation from a postcolonial feminist intersectional perspective. Importantly, findings contribute to the body of female immigrant perspectives to inform immigration policy and resettlement practices.
