THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

South Asians undergo additional sources of stress due to migration and ‘culture clash’. Some fail to get the appropriate help, as their cultural background is not understood, while others find it hard keeping a balance between the Western and Eastern values.

This book shows the study and research carried out looking at the perception of stress re: family and lifestyle amongst South Asian parents living in England (first generation) in comparison with their children (second generation) who are either born or brought up in England. South Asians’ insight on the notions of stress in the context of cultural migration and family dynamics is captured.
