Description

In search of the Female Renunciant

This brilliant and unsettling work enjoins us to think the everyday life of Buddhist female renunciants in Sri Lanka without translating it into the globalatinized language of our gendered politics. After reading this work we can no longer arbitrate third world questions of gender renunciations religious existence law and secularism in the same way.
