Emerging Voices : South Asian American Women Redefine Self, Family and Community

The images of South Asian women - submissive, docile, exotic - that are created and perpetuated by society and the media, attempt to define and limit the boundaries of identity formation for South Asian women in the West.

With a lively mix of academic social science and personal narratives, this book shows how these women are now forging new paths for themselves and redefining these boundaries.
