Description

Featuring stories of early settler and contemporary Asian migrant women in the Asia-Pacific region, Fire Dragon Feminism discusses Asian migrant women’s encounters with coloniality and racial capitalism at their workplace and in their everyday life.

Centring anti-colonial, anti-racist feminist philosophies and strategies, this open access book introduces 'fire dragon feminism'—a migrant feminist strand that aims to blow flames at colonial, racial capitalist, and neoliberal structures, and build solidarities for more just and sustainable futures.

Based on in-depth interviews with 40 Asian migrant employees in Australian universities, the book examines how Asian migrant women are implicated and complicit in white race-making projects while being subjected to racialisation and marginalisation simultaneously. Fire Dragon Feminism presents a historicised and sociological discussion of the contradictions, trade-offs, complicities, and refusals in the Asian migrant women’s tales of migration, coloniality, and racial capitalism. The author ends the book with a celebration of anti-colonial, anti-racist grassroots feminist activisms.
