Edited and Selected by Meena Upadhyaya and Chris Weedon, Narrative editor Kirsten Lavine, Foreword by Julie Morgan and Jane Hutt, Introduction by Prof Terry Threadgold, previous Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Cardiff University. The stories of women from Wales’ minority communities are seldom heard. This book comprises the life stories of 40 Black Asian Minority Ethnic women that were finalists/winners for the Ethnic Minority Welsh Women Achievement award (2011-2019). The women featured include some from long-settled, often mixed families and women from various parts of South and East Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East. Their life experiences are a fundamental part of the history of multi-ethnic Wales. Individual stories testify both to the struggle and to the remarkable contribution that minority women have made to the many sectors of Welsh society.
