馬來西亞新村客家婦女初探：以沙登新村為例

Abstract

女性作為客家族群文化的主要承載與傳遞者，始終是客家研究中不可或缺的領域，因為長期附屬於客家族群研究的邊緣，而欠缺系統性女性觀點的分析，需要透過從多元文化的角度分析性別、婚姻、族群和社會環境的互動，始能呈現「客家婦女」的多樣性面貌。藉由比較的觀點探究東南亞的客家女性，則更能夠作為臺灣客家女性研究的對照與補充。本文作為馬來西亞客家婦女的探索性研究，透過女性生命史的口述訪談，補充東南亞客家研究中所欠缺的性別觀點。並提供將來可延伸發展的研究議題參考：（1）移民女性的親密關係，（2）馬來西亞在地客家飲食文化的特殊性，（3）馬來西亞客家人獨特的共黨經驗。
