Elizabeth Enslin

    Elizabeth Enslin je autorka, jejíž práce je hluboce zakořeněna v jejím zájmu o kulturní antropologii a životní zkušenosti žen.

Enslin se zaměřuje na to, jak komunity organizují a jak jsou jejich životy formovány zemědělskými postupy a kulturními tradicemi. Její jedinečný pohled, ovlivněný životem v odlehlých krajinách, nabízí čtenářům intimní pohled na propletenost osobního 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 Nepal tells 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 societyand make their voices heard."
