Women and civil society in the Chinese diaspora. The Spanish case

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: The article aims to analyze the value of Chinese women associations within the Spanish society. First it reviews the basic characteristics of the people from Qingtian and Wenzhou, and the meaning of social prestige channeled through the symbolic representation in different associations in Spain. Women's associations have a dual social function both in Chinese diapora and in the receiving society; and both inscribed in the logic of the gender system that permeates this intercultural relation in Spain.
