Renegotiating the Patriarchal Bargain and the Embodiment of Womanhood

Nigerian migrant women in Britain are shown to use consumption to renegotiate culturally gendered body and related roles. Roles that had previously been within their marital patriarchal bargain are actively challenged and renegotiated, through consumption. Our findings also indicate the boundaries that gender and the body are negotiatable within acculturation.
