SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Encompassing transnational practices of marriage and kinship within the scope of domestic research provides a critical vantage point by which to examine how families are able to access, value and use education. Exploring arranged marriage as a register for larger social formations, this 2 year study shadowed the lives of Bangladeshi ESL students attending high school in Detroit's inner city. As a 'Coming of Age' ethnography, this study examined the life trajectories of working class Muslim students navigating between the institutions of transnational kinship and the Detroit Public Schools.
