Working Women and Architectural Work: Hong Kong, 1945–1985

Working Women and Architectural Work: Hong Kong, 1945–1985 is an archive that “situates women and their work in the context of extreme labor migration in postwar Hong Kong.” Seng notes that “crafting the archive is a process that involves finding working women—who they were, where they were working, what they worked on, and why they did the work—in a dense aggregation of texts, images, objects, people, and places.....describing a “critical consciousness of ‘Asia’' as an imagined entity comprising societies shaped by imperialisms, diasporas, and transnational capitalisms and examining 'inter-Asian' women’s biographies. [Seng] see[s] this as part of an ongoing effort to write an intersectional history capable of mapping the contours of feminist agency through a recuperation of migrants’ archives.”
