社區基層行政與服務人員對新移民與其家人的描繪：反壓迫實施的觀點

Local Administrators' and Service Providers' Discursive Constructions of Taiwan-South Asia Cross-border Marriages Involving Female Immigrants: The Perspective of Anti-oppressive Social Work

本文主要承續反壓迫的結構觀，探討基層社區行政人員和服務人員如何描繪新移民和其家人，主要分析語意背後的權力和特權關係並強調問題的結構根源，但也關照個人面對壓迫的能動性。社會工作者服務新移民時也經常身處複雜權力脈絡並須介入協商，因此也探討社會工作的政治性。資料來源以焦點座談和訪談為主，採用主題分析方法進行分析。研究發現部分社區行政人員和服務人員個人所運用的語言符號也反應了主流社會的偏見和制度性歧視，因此，本文強調除了多元文化能力外，須重視新移民所處的結構位置。新移民處境受到結構的限制，反壓迫取向提醒實務實施當重視社會不均議題及從結構位置所衍生的權力關係。社會工作者的角色也不是價值中立，而是深具政治意涵，服務輸送不是讓新移民適應既有的權力關係，須挑戰壓迫和倡議機會，並透過聯合行動和協同工作以消除結構不平等。

This article explores local administrators' and service providers' discursive constructions of Taiwan-South Asia cross-border marriages involving female immigrants. Language and narrative, being socially constructed, are closely tied to power and serve as a medium for representing the ideology of dominant groups. The perspective of anti-oppressive practice is employed to explore the values and ideological orientation of local community leaders and service providers. It focuses upon discussions of power relationships and privilege, personal problems with structural causes, and the argument that social work is political. It also explores the agency of women in resisting oppression. The research methods of focus group and interview were employed to collect data. This paper employs a thematic analysis to examine the interview transcriptions. The discourses of the interviewees reflect the An individual's prejudicial and discriminatory attitudes towards female immigrants is a mirror of a society's institutionalized oppression. It is argued that, beyond an emphasis on multiculturalism that appreciates diversity and respects differences, more must be done to address the realities of social division and structural inequality faced by female immigrants. The female immigrants are not the victims, neither are they active agents. Interlocking and mutually reinforcing systems of oppression, including class, gender, and ethnicity, permeate every experience, impacting relentlessly on the daily lives of female immigrants and their families. The role of social workers is not value-neutral but rather political; these individuals must challenge oppression and advocate for opportunity to prevent female immigrants from adjusting to the status quo. They must also form collective actions to transform structural inequality.
