Women Immigrants: The New Face of Migration to America
New America Media, Poll, none, Posted: Jul 06, 2009
The story of migration, as it has traditionally been told, has been a masculine epic. But in the latter part of the 20th century, as women began immigrating to America in ever-growing numbers, the migration story became increasing a woman's tale as well. Women are now on the move, as much so as men. But their narrative is different from that of their male predecessors – they are migrating not as lone individuals but as members, even heads, of families, determined to keep family bonds intact even as they travel great distances and adapt to new cultures.

New America Media, Poll, none, Posted: Jun 09, 2009
Over the last four years, the ethnic media have picked up 8 million new readers, viewers and listeners, and now regularly reach 57 million people in the US, according to a poll released today by New America Media. The increase comes as mainstream media, especially metropolitan daily newspapers, struggle to keep their audiences.

Women Immigrants: Stewards of the 21st Century - 女性移民: 21 世紀家庭管理人
女性移民: 21 世紀家庭管理人 新美國傳媒在其最新的民意調查報告中， 探討女性在移民歷史和移民家庭中扮演的角色。 介紹 傳統以來，移民故事偏重從男性角度出發，但隨著20世紀末來臨，女性移民美國數字激增的同時，移民故事亦逐漸趨向女性化。雖然女性移民人口比得上男性移民，但她們的故事卻截然不同。她們的移民歷程不再是獨自漂洋過海探索新機會的故事，而是堅決為維繫家庭關係，甘願越洋過海，重新適應新文化，女性作爲為家庭成員和家庭支柱的故事。 20世紀中後期以前，移民人口以男性居多，男女比例絕不平衡。但時至今日, 此比例已有所改變，移民來美的人口中，有一半或以上是女性。而同樣令人驚訝的是，女性竟佔據全球移民人口超過一半。 新美國傳媒的民意調查發現，女性是20世紀史敘中不可或缺的部分，她們伴隨著男性從鄉間遷移至城市，從家國移民至美國，而旅程的不同階段正促發女性作出行動。離鄉別井，重新適應城市生活，她們不再打算讓男性以養家為名背棄家庭，使家庭破裂，而是有愈來愈多女性決定越過海洋和國家的邊界，與丈夫團聚或把整個家庭遷移。 這行動亦同時改變了傳統移民故事的特質。移民，長久以來在美國人眼中是自我發現和重新發現的象徵，但透過女性的眼光來看，卻是團結家庭的象徵。女性通常以妻子和母親的身份來美。 就像小説《憤怒的葡萄》裏，主角喬德一家橫過大沙漠，前往加州尋找新生活時說，如果爺爺無法與家人成行，無人會離開，因爲家人應共同進退。 現代移民通常從一個城市遷移至另一個城市，但當中經常被忽略的是女性移民的故事。此民意調查正好捕捉她們的故事，而從她們的答話中，可清晰了解到管理家庭就是女性移民生命中的重要意義。民意調查顯示，九成接受訪問的移民女性（三成受訪者是無證移民）報告說他們擁有親密的家庭生活，意思是她們與丈夫共同住， 而孩子是在美國出生或是已來美與他們一家團聚。 移民女性需要克服很多困難，例如語言障礙（有超過六成拉美裔，越南裔，韓裔和華裔女性移民形容自己未能完全掌握英語運用），反移民歧視，缺乏健康服務，…
