Description:
Bangkok: Orchid Press, 2006. This pioneering monograph on the anthropology of the Badi, an untouchable caste in West Nepal whose livelihood depends on the proceeds of prostitution, served to raise awareness of the risks of their way of life, and to facilitate empowerment of new leaders within their communities. While the initial focus of aid organizations was on prevention of the spread of the HIV virus, the ensuing resources, training and encouragement provided by these various agencies have changed the Badi's culture of fatalism and have facilitated the development of effective new Badi women leaders. It is hoped that the republication of this study will continue to spread awareness about the Badi and to stimulate further activities which protect the Badis' basic rights of self-determination and freedom from persecution. 50 pp., table of Badi argot, appendix on Badi religion and origin myths, bibliography. Second edition, revised. Soft Cover. New/n/a. 21.5 x 15.2 cm.
