Weaving Community Intersecting Identities and Support Networks in Urban Immigrant Settings

Author(s) SADIQA JISSAN NABILA
Country India
Abstract This abstract uses Monica Ali's book “Brick Lane” to study how gender, class, and ethnicity interact to form social networks and support systems for immigrant women in urban settings. Using intersectional theory as a framework, the study looks at how different immigrant communities' development of solidarity, rivalry, and cooperation is impacted by intersecting identities. Putting social networks and support systems in context is the first step in the study, which aims to help immigrants adapt, integrate, and live successfully in urban environments. Next, it gives a synopsis of “Brick Lane,” emphasizing how the experiences of important people and the Bangladeshi immigrant community in East End, London, are portrayed. Investigating how common identities and experiences promote community cohesiveness, the study looks at examples of solidarity among immigrant women. It looks at how indispensable informal networks are for offering both practical and emotional assistance, such as friendships, family ties, and neighborhood associations. In addition, the examination reveals obstacles and conflicts among immigrant groups, including rivalry for assets, standing, and prospects. It takes into account how overlapping identities and power dynamics influence relationships between immigrant women, including disputes about resources, social norms, and hierarchies. The study presents instances of immigrant women working together and taking collective action despite these obstacles. It highlights moments in which they unite to speak out about shared issues and fight for their rights, offering tactics for building resilience and empowerment among immigrant populations. Finally, this research sheds light on the complex dynamics of overlapping identities and social networks among metropolitan immigrant women. It adds to a greater understanding of the complexities of immigrant social networks and their consequences for community building and empowerment by looking at the experiences of characters in “Brick Lane” and drawing on intersectional theory. The results provide implications for future studies, policies, and practices that seek to assist immigrant women in negotiating the opportunities and problems associated with urban migration.
