“Her daddy's girl”: daughters of immigrant Haitian parents in Chile
Abstract
The article analyzes the power position of the newly arrived Haitian male father in Chile and the redefinition of the patriarchal authority role. The interviewees identify the changes and risks that their daughters will experience once they become women in Chilean society, thereby redefining their parental role. In opposition to the gender status forged in their society of origin, they relax expectations of greater emotional closeness in upbringing and release certain stereotypes. The article concludes with challenges for educational and health policies to ensure the free development of Haitian girls in Chilean society.
