Prieta

This compilation is the first comprehensive work to focus on South Asian American & South Asian immigrant women in the U.S. It represents a pioneering effort to collect the critical essays, creative works & personal histories by & about women of South Asian descent-women who trace their origins to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh & Nepal. The diverse expressions of identity & experience found here enable us to begin to see how women of South Asian origin define their positions within their respective communities, within wider inter-ethnic networks, & within national & international social, economic, & political frameworks which impact upon women's lives, both in the United States & in South Asia.Anzaldúa, Gloria is the author of 'Prieta', published 1995 under ISBN 9781879960145 and ISBN 1879960141.
