ABSTRACT

Traditional family characteristics within sub-Saharan African migrant families settling in Australia are challenged in the process of acculturation. These challenges gain prominence when sub-Saharan African migrant families become involved with the Child Protection System. In order to successfully engage these families, Child Protection practitioners will need a deeper understanding and appreciation of sub-Saharan African migrants’ parenting practices. This qualitative study fills that gap by using the dynamics of cultural negotiation to explore sub-Saharan African migrants’ parenting practices in the context of Australia. Findings show the participants’ negotiation of existing beliefs and values as they incorporate and or reject new ones within the new environment. Thus the study contributes insights for a deeper understanding of the participants’ post-migration parenting practices and experiences.

让澳大利亚的撒哈拉以南非洲移民家庭参与:扩大家庭、社区和文化的定义

摘要

定居澳大利亚的撒哈拉以南非洲移民家庭的传统家庭特征在文化适应过程中受到挑战。当撒哈拉以南非洲移民家庭参与儿童保护系统时,这些挑战变得突出。为了成功吸引这些家庭,儿童保护从业人员需要更深入地了解和欣赏撒哈拉以南非洲移民的养育做法。这项定性研究通过使用文化谈判的动态来探索撒哈拉以南非洲移民在澳大利亚背景下的育儿实践,从而填补了这一空白。调查结果显示了参与者在新环境中融入和/或拒绝新信仰和价值观时对现有信仰和价值观的协商。
