註釋"The condition of Bengali widows is receiving much attention from activists and social scientists in recent years. Likewise, the targeting of single women in the practice of witchcraft by tribal communities in India has also been the focus of research. This book analyses the common ground in this process of exclusion, which single out mainly the widows in both communities. It also focuses on the material dimension to this exclusion, which has not received adequate attention in social science so far. The study examines the use of gender as a regulatory mechanism in society. It becomes apparent that strategies of exclusion have their roots in gender and property relations. This study brings out the struggle in the daily lives of women due to the ideological constraints imposed upon them. This book will prove to be useful for scholars of sociology, social anthropology, gender studies and of Indian society." -- dust jacket.
