Elizabeth Enslin Knihy

Elizabeth Enslin je autorka, ktorej dielo je hlboko zakorenené v jej záujme o kultúrnu antropológiu a životné skúsenosti žien. Jej tvorba, ktorá často zahŕňa prvky kreatívneho non-fiction a poézie, skúma prienik poézie, politiky a ekológie, inšpirovaná ženami, s ktorými sa stretla počas svojho pobytu v Nepále. Enslin sa zameriava na to, ako sa komunity organizujú a ako sú ich životy formované poľnohospodárskymi postupmi a kultúrnymi tradíciami. Jej jedinečný pohľad, ovplyvnený životom v odľahlých krajinách, ponúka čitateľom intímny pohľad na prepletenosť osobného a politického.

Love and marriage brought American anthropologist Elizabeth Enslin to a world she never planned to make her own: a life among Brahman in-laws in a remote village in the plains of Nepal. As she faced the challenges of married life, birth, and childrearing in a foreign culture, she discovered as much about human resilience, and the capacity for courage, as she did about herself. While the Gods Were Sleeping: A Journey Through Love and Rebellion in Nepaltells a compelling story of a woman transformed in intimate and unexpected ways. Set against the backdrop of increasing political turmoil in Nepal, Enslin's story takes us deep into the lives of local women as they claim their rightful place in society and make their voices heard.
