This book brings rarely voiced lives and experiences of women in
Nepal to light and combines rich ethnography with discourse
analysis. Multifaceted and critical, the volume situates its
narrative in the profoundly transformative period after the turn of
the century when 'New Nepal' was rising on the horizon, and sheds
light on Nepali women's experiences in multiple sites, crossing
class and ethnic lines. It is based on extensive fieldwork that
includes domestic workers, construction workers, street vendors,
women from the indigenous community of yolmo, and others. Through
an ethnographic approach, the author explores Nepali women's
experiences on the ground, whether occupational, ethnic, or
otherwise; experiences that are almost universally shared by every
marginalised woman in Nepal. Through the unusually intimate
narrative on these women from the global south, who are still prone
to be cast into a deeply colonial, simplistic image of "victimized
women", readers will get a nuanced perspective of the
multi-dimensional diversity amongst these women as well as a sense
of kinship with oneself. The book will be invaluable for
researchers and students of gender studies, global south studies,
development studies, cultural anthropology/ethnography, Nepal
studies, and feminist geography. It will also be of interest to
political geographers, anthropologists, sociologists, policymakers,
and those with an interest in global gender issues.
