description: Immigrant women bring to New Zealand rich experiences of lives spent in other cultures. But their stories are rarely told. In this book ten women, who have come to New Zealand through three decades from the 1960s, speak in depth about growing up in their first countries, and their lives in New Zealand.They talk about childhood, marriage, discrimination, language, their aspirations for their children, and the role of women in their first culture and in New Zealand. They also, often poignantly, point to what they cannot speak about.The ten women come from India, the Philippines, Tonga, Tokelau Islands, Chile, Iran, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Vietnam and Laos.Kamla Patel, Kenya/IndiaMichelle Karagianis, CzechoslovakiaNovena Petelo, Tokelau IslandsLivia Escobar, ChileNgàn Hac Tráng, VietnamValeti Finau, TongaThongsy Vanvilay, LaosAnna Reutt-Marcìszewski, PolandDahlia Roberts, The PhilippinesRoya Jazbani, Iran
