Synopsis
Examining the placement of Indian women in South African society, this engaging history features profiles and photographic portraits as it imparts a rich cultural milieu beyond aromatic spices and glittering jewelry. Arguing that postapartheid freedom has allowed for a renaissance among women achievers in the Indian community, this book not only charts the areas where this development has occurred but also shares the hopes of the women too often ignored in public discourse. A story of resilience that transcended the system of indenture, this celebratory narrative pays tribute to the spirit of South African women of Indian descent.

Signed by the author and the photographer on the half-title. 4to; pictorial boards; pp. (xiv) + 177; photographs in colour and monochrome. Boards a little shelf-rubbed; occasional fox spot. Very good condition. "The personal narratives in this book take the reader into the heart, home and hopes of women often ignored in public discourse. These narratives also take us ever so gently into a rich cultural milieu - not just the aromatic smells of spices or the glittering jewellery, but lives textured beyond clichés of subservience and dominance. These are narratives of the resilience of a culture that transcended the humiliation of the system of indenture to thrive in a democracy. Above all, this is a celebration of the spirit of South African women of Indian origin and of the joy of breaking free.". Seller Inventory # 13787
