Abstract

The aim of this article is to move away from the myth of passivity to counteract the objectification of South Asian women. Through the narratives of women active in Asian women's organizations it will show that a broader version of political activism is brought into play. This article will also demonstrate that despite being constructed as subjects without agency, South Asian women have been politically active, even under the most oppressive circumstances. This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Contemporary Politics in June 2007, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/13569770701562591
