Fire Dragon Feminism

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. * Bittiandra Chand Somaiah, Yale-NUS College, Singapore *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. * Sylvia Ang, Monash University, Australia *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. * Helena Liu, Bond University, Australia *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. * Crystal Abidin, Curtin University, Australia *
