The
essays in this volume address theoretical and ethnographic
issues concerning oral traditions and women's speech
in diverse South Asian communities in north and
south India and Nepal, situated in Hindu, Muslim
and Buddhist milieus. The contributors discuss a
complex range of questions concerning the relation
between women's speech and those cultural traditions
and social practices that partly structure their
lives. |
