Elizabeth Enslin

    Elizabeth Enslin es una autora cuyo trabajo está profundamente arraigado en su compromiso con la antropología cultural y las experiencias vividas por las mujeres. Su escritura, que a menudo incorpora elementos de no ficción creativa y poesía, explora la intersección de la poética, la política y la ecología, inspirándose en las mujeres que conoció durante su estancia en Nepal. Enslin se centra en cómo se organizan las comunidades y cómo sus vidas están moldeadas por las prácticas agrícolas y las tradiciones culturales. Su perspectiva distintiva, informada por la vida en paisajes remotos, ofrece a los lectores una mirada íntima a la naturaleza entrelazada de lo personal y lo político.

      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.
