Contradictory Lives: Baul Women in India and Bangladesh
Knight, Lisa I. (Associate Professor of Religion & Asian Studies, Associate Professor of Religion & Asian Studies, Furman University)
In this multi-sited ethnographic study, Knight explores the everyday lives of women of the Baul tradition of musical mystics in India and Bangladesh. She demonstrates that Baul women construct a meaningful life as they navigate between conflicting expectations of Bauls to be carefree and of women to be modest.
