The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

Women: South Africans of Indian origin by Devi Moodley Rajab.

The personal narratives in this book take the reader into the heart, home and hopes of women often ignored in public discourse. These narratives also take us ever so gently into a rich cultural milieu – not just the aromatic smells of spices or the glittering jewellery, but the lives textured beyond clichés of subservience and dominance.
