About the Book

Featuring stories of early settler and contemporary Asian migrant women in Asia-Pacific region, Fire Dragon Feminism discusses Asian migrant women’s encounters with coloniality and racial capitalism at their workplace and in their everyday life.

Centring anti-colonial, anti-racist feminist philosophies and strategies, this open access book introduces 'fire dragon feminism' - a migrant feminist strand that aims to blow flames at colonial, racial capitalist and neoliberal structures and build solidarities for more just and sustainable futures.

Based on in-depth interviews with 40 Asian migrant employees in Australian universities, the book examines how Asian migrant women are implicated and complicit in white race-making projects while being subjected to racialisation and marginalisation simultaneously. Fire Dragon Feminism presents a historicised and sociological discussion of the contradictions, trade-offs, complicities and refusals in the Asian migrant women’s tales of migration, coloniality and racial capitalism. The author ends the book with a celebration of anti-colonial, anti-racist grassroots feminist activisms.

The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Bloomsbury Open Collections Library Collective.

Review :
An authentic, painfully self-aware, searing critique of infrastructures of injustice through the holding of space for Asian migrant women academics’ narratives of chaos, rage, and restitution within contexts of ableist, capitalist, White-Settler, hetero-patriarchy. An invitation to the reader for active listening within an emerging, wounded warrior community seeking redress and connection for positive social change. Honest, feisty must-read on feminism and the crises of EDI. I laughed, cried, and felt my experiences affirmed. Thank you for offering us hope. Quah Ee Ling offers a lucid voice for Asian Australian women's struggles for survival in the colonial, racist academy. Fire Dragon Feminism is an invitation for all of us seeking justice to raise our collective consciousness and cultivate solidaristic connections. It is kindling for a revolution. Quah's writing is intimate, lucid, vulnerable, fierce, provocative, hopeful. Unabashedly anti-colonial, anti-racist, intersectional, and feminist in its standpoint, Fire Dragon Feminism galvanises in readers a pause for reflection and the pressure to take action, through accounts of pain and progress in navigating racialised inequalities and everyday activism.
