What We Inherit: Growing Up Indian - Thryft

Growing Up Indian, told in their own words.

What We Inherit is a powerful collection of personal stories that provide a unique insight into the Indian experience in Singapore. The book offers readers an opportunity to hear directly from Indian men and women as they share their experiences and perspectives on a range of issues, from cultural traditions and family expectations to discrimination and grief. The stories are raw, emotional, and honest, making this a must-read for anyone looking to learn more about the diverse experiences within the Indian community.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A celebration of the slippages, strife and secret histories that make us—for better or worse—who we are.A woman faces off against a xenophobic stranger across a supermarket turnstile.A young girl mistakes her first period for strawberry yoghurt and endures an embarrassing puberty ceremony.At the funeral of her cruel and prejudiced dadhi, a granddaughter reflects on the confusions of grief and the trauma passed through family lines.A follow-up to the best-selling anthology Growing Up Perempuan (AWARE, 2018), What We Inherit tells the stories of Indian women (and a few men) in Singapore entirely in their own words. They question the expectations foisted upon them, discover new avenues into old traditions and carve out spaces for joy amid anger and sorrow. At a time when the bonds between us seem at constant risk of breaking, What We Inherit turns our attention towards community in all its complexities. It’s a reminder of how we honour, betray and ultimately bear witness to each other… and ourselves.Featuring contributions by:Akshita Nanda, Balli Kaur Jaswal, Constance Singam, Kelly Kaur, Mandakini Arora, Matilda Gabrielpillai, Pooja Nansi, Prasanthi Ram, Ranjana Raghunathan, Sharul Channa, and more
