THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE ADAPTATION OF THE NORTH CAUCASIAN DIASPORA IN MODERN FRANCE

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to study the role of women in the adaptation of the North Caucasian diaspora in modern France. The author collected field ethnographic materials in France (Paris and several other cities, Lyon) during 2015—2016. This article describes learning the French language by Caucasian women and job search in a new country. The author notes that there is a group of women, whose devotion to Islam creates restrictions and limitations in their life. It hinders their adaptation to the French way of life. The author describes the role of women as protectors of the North Caucasian culture in France, shows the role of women in the preservation of traditional kinship and family values in France. The author shows the status of women in the social life in France, the place and function of women in the traditional culture, as well as during wedding and funeral traditions in France. In France the traditional status of women-“goryanok” in the family and society is gradually changing. There are several reasons for that: women become more independent, are more flexible and mobile, find it easier to adapt to new living conditions.
