| Abstract
|
:
|
The Muslim American population is progressively growing and is the second largest religion in the United States. Muslim Americans have also experienced an increase in racial and religious victimization post 9/11 (Elver, 2012). With the rate of growth in this population and ongoing occurrences of racism and discrimination, it is imperative to gain a better understanding of the lived experiences of this subset of Americans. This qualitative study explored the role of childhood racial and religious victimization in the lives of Muslim American mothers and investigates how these experiences may affect mental health and parenting socialization behaviors. Research suggests that there is a correlation between childhood victimization and mental health disorders in adulthood, yet the literature on the experiences and effects of racial and religious victimization in the Muslim American culture is limited, especially when considering the potential of parental racial socialization to minimize effects on children. The focus of this study was to explore and gather information to understand and address these factors, as well as to provide a framework for future research. Ten Muslim American mothers residing in California, ages 27-50, with a mean age of 41, were interviewed for this study. These mothers participated in a retrospective qualitative study and filled out questionnaires related to their demographic information, experiences of racial and religious victimization, and psychological symptoms. Interviews explored parenting behaviors and in-depth experiences growing up with racial and religious victimization. Five themes and 11 subthemes emerged regarding experiences of ongoing victimization beginning in childhood, coping strategies, and parenting socialization behaviors.
