About This Item
New York: Ford Foundation, 2002. First? Edition. First? Printing. fair. 195, wraps, list of interviewees, cover torn in front, bookmark from the Asian American Women's Project of AAPIP laid in. The author reveals the struggles of Asian American women at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder where hunger, illness, homelessness, sweatshop labor, exposure to hazardous chemicals, and even involuntary servitude are everyday realities. Asian American women of all socio-economic classes suffer from domestic violence whose root causes stem from the particular forms of patriarchy that exist in Asian cultures. Their health and lives are endangered due to prevalent but wrong stereotypes about Asian women. The model minority myth hides the appalling level of human and civil rights violations against Asian American women. The book captures their suffering and also the fighting spirit of Asian American women who have waged social and economic justice campaigns and founded organizations to right the wrongs against them. The book is a call to action to Asian Americans, policy makers, civil rights organizations, and the philanthropic community to support Asian American women in their struggles to advance their social justice agenda.
