SOCIETY UNVEILED: NOW YOU SEE US
Storizen
|June 2023
In a candid conversation with author Balli Kaur Jaswal, we delve into the inspiration, research, and creative process behind her groundbreaking novel, Now You See Us.
Balli Kaur Jaswal
Through exploring important social themes, empowering migrant workers, and navigating cultural intersections, Jaswal's work sheds light on the often-invisible voices of Singaporean society.
Unveiling the Inspiration: Tackling Classism, Prejudice, and Women's Rights
Jaswal reveals that her inspiration for exploring themes of classism, prejudice, and women's rights in Now You See Us came from a personal experience during her teenage years. "My family moved from Singapore to the Philippines shortly after a Filipina domestic worker was executed for murdering a Singaporean," she shares. This incident opened her eyes to the gravity of injustice and the impact of class prejudice on real lives. It sparked a desire within her to shed light on the vulnerability of migrant workers, who are integral to the success of nations like Singapore but remain voiceless.
