" This compilation is the first comprehensive work to focus on South Asian American and South Asian immigrant women in the United States. It represents a pioneering effort to collect their creative works, personal histories and critical essays.It is through the voices in this volume that we begin to see how women of South Asian origin locate their positions within their respective communities, within wider interethnic networks, and within national and international social, economic, and political frameworks which impact upon women's lives in South Asia and throughout the South Asian diaspora" -Jane Singh from the Forward.
