“…Para que conozcan nuestras costumbres, nosotras las de ellas, yo estoy muy contenta aquí (Recurso Nº 6, entrevista grupal, 19 de mayo del 2006) Estas tendencias multiculturalistas han sido ampliamente criticadas por diversas feministas en el contexto europeo y estadounidense (Ver Anthias, 2002;Beckett y Macy, 2001;Burman 2005;Burman, Smailes y Chantler, 2004;Maynard, 1994;Okin, 1999;Youdell, 2006), señalando las siguientes consecuencias: (1) en primer lugar, la creación de la idea de una "sociedad plural", en la que la construcción de la diferencia cultural ocurriría de manera natural y neutral, mientras que la sociedad se posicionaría a favor del reconocimiento y celebración de estas diferencias (Youdell, 2006); (2) en segundo lugar, la ocupación de dichos espacios por parte de las usuarias (espacios importantes de relación con la sociedad de recepción), significaría "giro" hacia el llamado o "interpelación" (Althusser, 1971, en Butler 1997/2004) por parte de la sociedad, como "inmigrante" y persona racializada, generando así procesos de identificación y subjetivación; (3) en tercer lugar, se presentaría una "diferencia cultural" a partir de prácticas generizadas, comúnmente atribuidas a los roles de las mujeres en la sociedad patriarcal (Burman, 2005); (4) y en cuarto lugar, podrían generar dificultades en la capacidad de intervención o respuesta de la sociedad de acogida hacia las denominadas "prácticas culturales" independientemente que puedan ser opresivas en términos de género.…”

Los recursos sociales para la inserción laboral que destina la sociedad de recepción hacia las personas que inmigran son espacios que, enmarcados en dinámicas de saber-poder (Foucault, 1976(Foucault, /1995, configuran sujetos y subjetividades. Las estrategias de diferenciación social imbuidas en relaciones de intervención, hacen uso de categorías de diferenciación (Brah, 1996) como son el género, la "raza" o cultura y la clase, entre otras, e intensifican la separación entre un sujeto autóctono y un sujeto "inmigrante". Construcciones que, como resultado de estas relaciones, dan forma a desigualdades y exclusiones de los colectivos inmigrados en la sociedad de recepción. Mediante una investigación cualitativa realizada en ocho recursos, tanto públicos como privados, y mediante un análisis interseccional (Crenshaw, 1991(Crenshaw, /1994, se consideraron las maneras en las que estos espacios incurren en prácticas de producción subjetiva, tanto de las usuarias de dichos recursos, como de las profesionales que llevan a cabo la intervención. Palabras claveIntervención social Relación saber/poder Diferenciación Subjetividad Abstract KeywordsSocial Intervention Power/knowledge Relation Differentiation Subjectivity Social resources aimed at work inclusion, destined by the reception societies for migrated populations, are spaces that framed within power/knowledge dynamics (Foucault, 1976(Foucault, /1995 configure subjectivities and subjects. Strategies of social differentiation are put at work within social intervention practices, employing diverse differentiation categories (Brah, 1996) that comply with the creation of the "local" and "immigrant" subject. Categorizations that can give shape to social exclusion processes and/or material inequities. This paper analyses the relationship between the professionals and the women clients of these resources, as one of the focal points where these processes of differentiation are put into practice in the reception society. The investigation was carried out in eight social services, private and public, in the city of Barcelona. By means of an intersectional analysis (Crenshaw, 1991(Crenshaw, /1994, these spaces are seen as the possibility for practices of subjectivity production, not only for the users, also for the professionals that work in these services.Quintana Montenegro, Karla (2014).

Immigration to a new country constitutes a major life change that can directly and indirectly affect health. Considerable research has focused on the impact of immigration on individual psychosocial and cultural adaptation and integration, but far less has examined "how migration affects marital relationships or the processes by which couples adapt to their new circumstances" (p.149). 1 This is a key limitation in the literature given that the majority of immigrants come as family units. 2 Post-migration changes can both positively and negatively affect marital relationships. For example, post-migration changes in gender roles have been shown to have a profound effect on married couples. [3][4][5] Immigrants' ways of thinking about couple relationships may be rooted in understandings of human nature and social order that differ from those that have set the foundations of Canadian culture and institutions. [6][7][8] Changes in gender roles have been associated with increases in stress, 2,9 marital conflict, 10,11 marital discord, 12 and the risk of abuse. 13,14 The connection between changes in gender roles and spousal abuse has been studied in a number of ethnic communities in the United States including Mexican immigrants, 4 Southeast Asian refugees. 11 Chinese immigrants, 15 and Iranian immigrants. 14 This connection was evident in a number of Canadian studies as well. 1,3,5 Immigration to a new country also offers couples the opportunity to renegotiate and rebuild couple relations. 1 For example, Cheung found that although those with long-term happy marriages went through major adjustments after they had immigrated to Canada, 16 a number of significant factors affected their resilience: 1) adjustment to changing gender relations, 2) increase in intimacy and mutual reliance, and 3) management of conflict and willingness to compromise on differences.However, we do not know if other post-migration changes are faced by immigrant couples in Canada, whether these changes are common across different ethnic communities, and the pathways through which these post-migration changes lead to positive or negative outcomes in couples' lives. This information is necessary for developing health promotion interventions for immigrant couples.Recently, there has been an increase in research on post-migration changes and their impact on immigrants' health. In Canada, much of this work has been qualitative. Individual studies focusing on specific ethnocultural communities help improve our knowledge on the topic, however, a systematic review of the individual studies' findings across communities could provide a better framework
