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.
