Title: Coolie Woman Author: Gaiutra Bahadur Narrator: Gaiutra Bahadur Format: mp3 Length: 13 hrs and 51 mins Release date: 02-27-24 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 3 ratings Genres: Social Sciences Publisher's Summary: Shunned by society, and sometimes in mortal danger, many coolie women were either runaways, widows, or outcasts. Many of them left husbands and families behind to migrate alone in epic sea voyages-traumatic "middle passages"—only to face a life of hard labor, dismal living conditions, and sexual exploitation. Coolie Woman is a meditation on survival, a gripping story of a double diaspora—from India to the West Indies in one century, Guyana to the United States in the next-that is at once a search for one's roots and an exploration of gender and power, peril and opportunity.
