First published in 1978, and winning the Martin Luther King Memorial Prize for that year, Finding a Voice established a new discourse on South Asian women's lives and struggles in Britain. Through discussions, interviews and intimate one-to-one conversations with South Asian women, in Urdu, Hindi, Bengali and English, it explored family relationships, the violence of immigration policies, deeply colonial mental health services, militancy at work and also friendship and love. The seventies was a time of some iconic anti-racist and working-class struggles. They are presented here from the point of view of the women who participated in and led them. This new edition includes a preface by Meena Kandasamy, some historic photographs, and a remarkable new chapter titled 'In conversation with Finding a Voice: 40 years on' in which younger South Asian women write about their own lives and struggles weaving them around those portrayed in the book.
