Dear Nasima, I can add two of my own - not on parenting alone, but on
South Asian mothers in Canada:
Dyck, I. Travelling tales and migratory meanings: South Asian migrant
women talk of place, health and healing. Social & Cultural Geography,
7(1):1-18, 2006.
Dyck, I. & Dossa, P. Place, health and ?home?: Gender and migration in
the constitution of healthy space. Health and Place. 13:691-701, 2007.
Good luck with your research.
Best wishes, Isabel
