This book explores the lives and struggles of two generations of British Asian women to present a political account of their experiences: personal and public, individual and collective, their struggles take on power structures within the family, the community and, on occasion, the British state. Combining their personal testimony within a theoretical framework, Amrit Wilson locates their experiences in the wider context of global and regional politics. She examines what impact the feminist movement has had on their lives, and explores issues such as domestic violence, Asian marriages, representations of Asian women, mental disturbance and suicide. 606 $aAsians$zGreat Britain$xSocial conditions 606 $aWomen$zGreat Britain$xSocial conditions 607 $aGreat Britain$xEthnic relations 615 0$aAsians$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 676 $a305.488914041 700 $aWilson$b Amrit$f1941-$0660162 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782016003321 996 $aDreams, questions, struggles$93712388 997 $aUNINA
