dc.description.abstract |
The study explores how mothers in Iceland, a relatively new nation state that
is perceived as being gender equal, classless and homogeneous, adapt and
respond to international trends of consumer cultures. Building on studies
about parental neighbourhood choice, parental practices and reproduction
of social class, the study’s aim is to examine the local manifestations of
those in an international context. To reach this aim, nine interviews with
middle-class mothers who live in either disadvantaged or privileged
neighbourhoods in terms of income, education level and ethnicity were
analysed. Our findings on middle-class anxiety over class reproduction
being mediated by neighbourhood and school choice are in accord with
international literature. Our findings depart from the literature in the way
that social capital reproduction plays out in the most affluent
neighbourhood and the importance the most affluent middle-class
mothers put on geographical closeness to their extended families. |
