Explore the complex world of Sri Lanka’s global factory workers in this insightful book from The Bookish Owl. Examining the Free Trade Zone’s female workforce, this study delves into the intersections of gender, class, and sexuality within a post-colonial context. Discover how rural women migrating for work challenge societal norms and navigate taboo sexual practices like premarital sex and cohabitation, creating an ‘unutterable’ sexual world. This essential read for South Asian Studies and Gender Studies scholars critically analyzes how cultural, economic, and political forces shape working-class female sexualities amidst global production and patriarchal nationalism. Uncover hidden narratives and understand the lived experiences of these resilient women.
