Description

From highlighting the threat of fundamentalism to the freedoms won by women in their flight from domestic violence, no analysis of political struggle in the eighties is complete without this book.

It explores both feminist and conservative pressures on the Asian women’s refuge movement, the ‘gang’ culture of ‘militant’ boys in Southall, the kind of alliances that should be forged by autonomous groups and the tensions between socialist and radical feminists. Some of the most historic moments of black women’s struggle in the UK are captured in this account.

Articles include:

  • Mandana Hendessi ‘In Conversation’
  • Avtar Brah ‘The Early Days’
  • Gita Sahgal ‘When I Became Involved’
  • Gita Sahgal ‘Fundamentalism and the Multi-Culturalist Fallacy’
  • Muneeza Inam ‘Opening Doors’
  • Smita Bhide ‘N.O.W. or Never’
  • Hannana Siddiqui ‘BMWs & Samosas at the Seaside’
  • Pragna Patel ‘Southall Boys’
  • Rahila Gupta ‘Autonomy and Alliances’
  • Hannana Siddiqui ‘A Women’s Banner for Doubt and Dissent’
  • Meena Patel ‘Working with Women’
  • Judy Wellington ‘My Part in the Women’s Movement’
  • Kulli ‘Leaving Home’
  • Asha Khan – Extract from ‘Hope’
  • Asha Khan ‘Childhood’
