    Indo-Caribbean immigrants perceptions of dating abuse
    (2016-04-01) Singh, Nelesh; Ammar, Nawal
    Diverse cultures as well as social and political conditions work in various ways to alter the experiences of dating abuse among divergent populations. Utilizing an Intersectionality paradigm, I have attempted to understand the perceptions of dating and dating abuse among members of the Indo-Caribbean community living in Canada. Contemporary research has done little to examine this population. In order to delve deeper into the perceptions of dating abuse among this community, I conducted 11 qualitative interviews which looked at intersection of factors such as immigration, family background, home life and their role in the perceptions of dating, dating pressure, shame / dishonor and community-specific dating behaviours. I purport that the confluence of these factors help to shape perceptions of dating and dating abuse among members of the Indo-Caribbean community.
