• W2892382956 abstract "This thesis seeks to challenge deficit approaches to ‘different’ childhoods. It doesthis through documenting the everyday life experiences of Sylheti-heritage Muslimchildren in urban Scotland, and reading these childhoods through the lives ofchildren and their kin in rural Sylhet, Bangladesh. The research is based on 3 years’ethnographic fieldwork (January 2008-February 2011), in Scotland and inBangladesh, and incorporates various child-friendly creative research methods usedto elicit data on children’s realities and perspectives on their lives. These data aresupplemented by data from the children’s mothers (and occasionally wider family) inboth locations.Transnational migration between the Indian subcontinent and the UK is not new, butlittle research has focused on childhoods, in particular the lived experiences of youngMuslim children of marriage-migrant mothers in Scotland, where this minorityethnic ‘community’ is quite small, later-formed and largely invisible. Little earlychildhood research has been conducted on children’s everyday lives either in ruralSylhet or in Scotland. The history and context of migration and the realities ofchildren’s lives in Scotland, as migrant-heritage Muslim children, are largelyunexplored and their particular needs are little understood. Some media and publicimaginaries and discourses portray Muslim families and their communities as‘problematic’, increasingly so since September 11th, 2001, with recent events in theUK, mainland Europe and the Middle East adding fuel to such sentiments. ManySylheti-heritage families experience harassment and abuse, or live in fear of sucheventualities, and the women and young children in my Scottish cohort have largelywithdrawn for safety from the visible public domain.This research aims to contribute to a body of knowledge on early childhood(s). Earlychildhood interventions are high on Scotland’s, and the UK’s, policy agendas. Thesepolicies aim to create better futures and greater inclusiveness for all residents, butthey are problematic for families that do not match the very Euro-American middle-classconceptions of childhood and family norms that inform policy. Despite theintroduction of strengths-based models in family and childhood policy and practice,such ‘different’ children and families may still be viewed from a deficits perspective.Such deficit discourses may be rooted in a language of cultural deprivation andspecial needs, focusing on perceived deficiencies, resulting in the pathologising ofcertain groups, which become normalised over time. The global Early Years’ agendais also reflected in interventions in rural Bangladesh, with imported global ideals andnorms of which most village families have no knowledge and which bear littlerelevance to their everyday lives. For example, many interventions exist for earlychildhood in the form of pre-school and nursery provision, but many are based onvery Eurocentric models of childhood, which although pertinent in the Global Northmay not ‘fit’ with the realities of life for most rural children and their families. Thereis an over-emphasis on children’s futures and children as ‘becomings’, the futurecitizens they will become, rather than on their quality of life here and now as‘beings’.This thesis frames children’s everyday lives in terms of ‘domains’: places ofchildhood (locations of children’s day-to-day activities), ‘networks’: spaces ofchildhood (social networks and relationships with kin and friends); and‘preoccupations’: pursuits of childhood (how they spend their lives and whatmeaning, if any, they attach to these different aspects of life). The gendered characterof these experiences is highlighted throughout. Children’s lives, particularly whenyoung, are influenced and shaped by their kin, yet opportunities for agency alsoexist. When women migrate after marriage from Sylhet to Scotland, some aspects ofchildhood and family lives remain fairly constant while others change quite radically.For instance, whilst children’s lives continue to be centred on close family, familymay be much smaller and less accessible than in Sylhet. Concepts of house andneighbourhood continue to be important, but Sylheti village childhoods are largelyspent outdoors, whilst children are largely restricted to the family home in Scotland;children’s physical domains of activity diminish and women and children have fewopportunities to connect socially beyond their existing family networks, particularlyin the early years. Social life, very rich and foregrounded in Sylheti villages,becomes potentially more restricted in Scotland although women work hard to createand maintain social opportunities and networks in Scotland, with wider Diasporickin, and the Sylheti villages to which they have connections. Through theirrepresentations and narratives, both drawn and spoken, children convey richexamples of their childhood experiences, in both locales, which challenge deficitdiscourses on ‘different childhoods’." @default.
