Description

The study considers two generations of Anglo-Indian women in post-colonial India, and their social interaction with their community. It explores Anglo-Indian women as a part of a cultural whole and as participants within the mainstream cultural claims of India. It notably highlights the marginalisation of Anglo-Indian women in decision-making, that specialize in the more than one patriarchal dominations they face, and the way it impacts on their role within society. It argues that the historical gendering of the Anglo-Indian community has concrete consequences when it comes to familial, cultural and organizational links with the diaspora, perceptions and attitudes of other Indian communities towards the Anglo-Indian community in schools, neighborhoods and workplaces and significant discriminations in keeping with colour of skin, economic resources and conformity to gender stereotypes. Examining how different kinds of race, class and gender discrimination intersect within the lives and experiences of Anglo-Indian women, this work provides insights into up to date gender relations in India, and is a key read for scholars in gender and sociology, in addition to minority and diaspora studies.
