Autorenporträt

Patricia Jeffery's research focuses on gender politics in South Asia. Her publications include Frogs in a Well (1979) and Confronting Saffron Demography (2006). Routledge is publishing two further books that address demographic change, communal politics and 'jobless growth', based on her long-term research in a Muslim village in Uttar Pradesh, India. Kaveri Qureshi's research is threaded by concern with intersectional inequalities and how gender, race/ethnicity, class, caste and religion shape experiences of health and intimate/personal life. Her publications include Marital Breakdown among British Asians (2016) and Chronic Illness in a Pakistani Labour Diaspora (2019). She works in the UK and Punjab.
