About the book
"Author Kathey-Lee Galvin traveled to urban Nepal to interview widows of various ages, castes, religions, and circumstances. The stories of these women portray the plight of widows in this third-world country. Applying kinship modeling and practice theory to an examination of widow rituals, residence choices, and religion, Galvin analyzes - with some surprising results - how widows are rejected, the choices available to them, and the survival strategies they employ. Forbidden Red is a noteworthy complement to the few contemporary studies of widowhood in South Asia."--Jacket.
