Research Description
I study the experiences of women of South Asian descent in 1970s-1990 Britain. I examine how these women confronted forms of racialized and gendered state violence, labor exploitation, and domestic abuse. I examine violence at multiple scales, from the large state mechanisms to the everyday intimate encounter, demonstrating how these layers of violence not merely coalesce, but are interlocking and co-produced. Furthermore, I aim to center the networks of resistance these women forged alongside Black British feminists.
