Gender Negotiations Among Indians in Trinidad 1917-1947
$385.00
This work is about the struggles of female and male descendants of Indian indentured migrants in Trinidad in the first half of the 20th century, each desiring to preserve some aspects of the gender system brought from India between 1845 and 1917, which were important to their continued definition of ethnic identity and community in Trinidad. At the same time the situation of migration allows for challenges to the caste system of Hinduism and, for women and some men, new opportunities to confront the more restricting aspect of Indian patriarchy which followed them across the seas from India.
