Klappentext zu „Shame and Recovery “
The fields of communication and cultural studies have turned to investigating the relations among power, culture, and identity. Shame and Recovery is a critical ethnography, using postcolonial and poststructural perspectives in particular, of communication and cultural identity construction in a shelter for Asian women in Chicago. The cultural codes, values, and symbols of honor and shame illuminate the ways in which Asian women experiencing marital abuse and violence construct their identities. This ethnography also examines the process of recovery through the reconstruction of identity in the shelter. Shame and Recovery reflects on the politics and practices of religious faith as a paradoxical site of cultural control and transformation.

Pressezitat
"Through the engrossing stories of three women from different parts of Asia, K. E. Supriya examines self-transformation through the reconstruction of identity. The intersection of domestic violence and cultural identity is her topic; ethnography is her method; the assumptions of cultural studies are combined with those of intercultural communication for her analysis." (Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz, University of Wisconsin-Parkside)"What a biting analysis of the possibilities of activism against violence against women! A detailed ethnography enables us to enter the contradictory lives of immigrant women in the U.S., but also to see how the paradoxes of American culture engage the destiny of social individuals. The book shames us into action." (Vijay Prashad, author of 'Karma of Brown Folk' and 'Everybody Was Kung Fu Fighting')
