{"product_id":"seeking-bauls-of-bengal-jeanne-openshaw-9780521811255","title":"Seeking Bauls of Bengal","description":"Bauls have achieved fame as wandering minstrels and mystics in India and Bangladesh. They are recruited from Hindu and Muslim communities and renowned for their beautiful songs. Using fieldwork and oral and written texts, Jeanne Openshaw analyzes the rise of the Bauls to their present revered status, traversing from the conventional historical and textual approaches towards an ethnographic study of their world, where love and the body are valued and women extolled above men. Her approach is challenging and sympathetic to this spiritual and creative people.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeanne Openshaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521811252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521811255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Jeanne Openshaw","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43920070344959,"sku":"9780521811255","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_82975589-639a-4f74-ad63-bcaa8d2c09db.jpg?v=1680813434","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seeking-bauls-of-bengal-jeanne-openshaw-9780521811255","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
