01 Mar / Her Mother’s Ashes and Other Stories by South Asian Women in Canada and the United States edited by Nurjehan Aziz [in What Do I Read Next? Multicultural Literature]
The anthology features 21 stories by first-generation North American women of South Asian descent, who have arrived in either Canada or the U.S. by way of South Asia, Africa, or the Caribbean. While each of the contributors shares the common bond of being of South Asian origin, each of their stories highlights the many different cultures and unique experiences of the vastly diverse individuals they represent.
