Voices of the Displaced
This anthology contains the winning entries of the Malaysian Migrant Poetry Competition 2015 and 2016 as well as all the finalists. It contains poetry of migrant workers and refugees from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Myanmar, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Syria in 10 languages, including Bengali, Tagalog and Hakha Chin, with accompanying English translations. The Migrant and Refugee Poetry Competition demonstrates the real need for voices from the fringes of Malaysian society, reflective in the work of these migrant poets who portray the influence of the mighty literary traditions from their countries of origin. —Bernice Chauly, Author of Once We Were There, Onkalo and Growing up with Ghosts These are poems not about migrants and refugees but by migrants and refugees. They remind us that poetry cannot be thought of as an elite activity, and that people of all backgrounds – national, cultural, ethnic, class, gender, and generation – have come naturally to poetry in times of crisis, struggle, and confusion. —Sharmani Patricia Gabriel, Professor of English, Universiti Malaya
Fearless Speech in Indonesian Women’s Writing
By offering perspectives from Indonesian female workers, this book discusses the contemporary progress of working-class feminism from the Global South. It presents a critical reading of the socio-political conditions that allow female workers to narrate their lives and work as precariat labor toiling under the forces of globalization. Its analysis centers on their writings which appear in the form of legal documents, personal accounts, essays, and short stories. Thus, the book shows how these women change their situation by challenging the political order and demanding gender justice with their fearless speech.
