چکیده
Sociological literature has begun to examine how mothers occupying non-normative positions negotiate the transmission of cultural capital and habitus, norms good mothering shape this process. However, less is known about second-generation mothers’ experiences, despite evidence changing gender relations within ethnic minority communities. Drawing on interviews with British-born South-Asian who held upwardly mobile aspirations, we highlight several forms departure from intensive, middle-class mothering. Informants face additional responsibilities for transmitting religious capital, pursuing ideal child as ‘skilled navigator’, enabling their children hybridised identities. They reinterpret intensive mothering, pushing against key tropes including expert-dependence, self-sacrifice overprotection. These findings extend knowledge mother’s role in creating a reflexive by showing socialise reflexively chosen practices, based egalitarian norms.
