The book offers one of the first detailed studies of South Asian
women, it provides new empirical data on the issues apparent in
South Asian women's lives by 'giving voice' to a group of women who
would otherwise remain silent. It is based upon an ethnographic
study of a small South Asian community in an inner city. The book
offers a new and compelling account of South Asian women, as well
as focussing on the ways in which gender and 'race' interact in
women's lives. The book offers an important theoretical
contribution to the area of feminist theory. The concept of
patriarchy is contested and reworked and applied to the study of
South Asian women and their cultural experiences. In this sense,
practices such as arranged marriages, dowries, domestic labour and
domestic finance are analyzed as different influences of patriarchy
inside the household, as well as education and the labour market as
influences of patriarchy outside the household.
