This book presents a compilation of chapters relating to the
socio-cultural experiences of Malaysian Indian women. It includes a
historical background covering Indian women's migration to Malaya,
and explores the lived realities of contemporary Indian women who
are members of this minority ethnic group in the country. The
authors cover a wide range of issues such as gender inequality,
poverty, the involvement of women in performing arts, work,
inter-personal relationships, and well-being and happiness, drawing
on substantial empirical data through a gendered lens. This book
addresses the gap in the intersectional gender studies literature
on minority groups of women in Malaysia, while simultaneously
highlighting the multiple forms of subordination minority women -
particularly Indian women - experience in society, including those
that arise from gender-ethnic intersectionality. In examining the
case of Indian women in Malaysia, it also speaks to and enriches
existing literature on the lives of minority groups of women in the
Global South more broadly This anthology is beneficial to
researchers and students in the social sciences, particularly in
disciplines related to gender studies and minority studies. In
addition, it is also useful for policy makers and social activists
working with minority women in the Global South.
