520 This book is a compelling ethnographic analysis of
folksongs sung primarily by lower-caste women in north
India, in the fields, at weddings, during travels, and in
other settings. Smita Tewari Jassal uses these songs to
explore how ideas of caste, gender, sexuality, labor, and
power may be strengthened, questioned, and fine-tuned
through music. At the heart of the book is a library of
songs, in their original Bhojpuri and in English
translation, framed by Jassal's insights into the
complexities of gender and power. The significance of
these folksongs, Jassal argues, lies in their suggesting
and hinting at themes, rather than directly addressing
them: women sing what they often cannot talk about.
Women's lives, their feelings, their relationships, and
their social and familial bonds are persuasively presented
in song. For the ethnographer, the songs offer an entry
into the everyday cultures of marginalized groups of women
who have rarely been the focus of systematic analytical
inquiry.
