Summary

"This study focuses on parent-child relationships in South Asian Muslim families, paying close attention to the interconnections between family, religious and cultural practices. Key themes include the belief and value systems that are important in South Asian Muslim family practices; the construction and performance of beliefs and values through cultural consumption; the relationship between family and religious time and space; roles for mothers, fathers and children; connections outside the household as sources of both support and stress. This book is vital for the understanding and development of culturally sensitive and accessible forms of family support."--BOOK JACKET.
