解説

This text systematically examines the relationship between the ideals and the realities of widowhood in rural India. Chen shows how ideological constructions of widowhood - the ascetic, child and sati - embedded in orhodox Hindu traditions and texts are manifested in customary practices and norms. Based on rich empirical data the book provides a comprehensive view of the day-to-day realities of widows in rural India.
