Description

Finding a Voice: A Powerful Account of Asian Women in Britain. This influential feminist book explores the experiences of South Asian women living in Britain in the late 1970s, delving into their lives as migrants, workers and women navigating two cultures. Through intimate conversations and analysis of their own lives, the book examines family relationships, workplace struggles, racist immigration policies, school life, friendships and love. The book sheds light on significant events of the 1970s, including the Grunwick photo processing plant strike and the horrors of first immigration detention centres. A new chapter in this edition provides a fresh perspective, as young South Asian women in Britain share their thoughts on the book's relevance today and how it compares to their own lives. This edition includes a remarkable new chapter that offers a contemporary voice to the original work, providing valuable insights into the enduring impact of the book's themes.
