Beskrivning

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.

Recensioner i media

Fearless Speech is a landmark study that explores the manifold ways and means by which Indonesian women workers reflect on, and advocate to improve, their living and working conditions. Through speeches, legal texts, essays, and fiction, these women wield their pens and engage creatively and critically with issues of work, family, activism, emotion, and writing. In so doing, they not only bear testament to, but are themselves the makers and promoters of, a vibrant, resilient working-class culture.
