El rol de las mujeres inmigrantes marroquíes establecidas en España

Abstract

This article is the result of a research project developed at the University of Malaga with the purpose of analyzing the construction of the identity of Moroccan immigrant women from a cultural and gender perspective. After the completion of a previous study which showed the role that Moroccan immigrant parents played in the education of their children, we verified how important the mother-figure is in Moroccan society. It was then decided to undertake a project focusing on the different roles played by women in Moroccan culture. To this end, our work shows a thorough analysis of cognitive, affective and moral components of these women in relation to their closest environment, namely the family and to second-order contexts such as: neighbourhood, friends, school of their children, and such-like.
