White Saris and Sweet Mangoes : Aging, Gender, and Body in North India

Lamb, Sarah
Berkeley :  University of California Press, 2000

"This ethnography explores beliefs and practices surrounding aging in a rural Bengali village. Sarah Lamb focuses on how villagers' visions of aging are tied to the making and unmaking of gendered selves and social relations over a lifetime. Lamb contributes to contemporary theories of gender, the body, and culture, which have been hampered, the book argues, by a static focus on youth."Publisher's Description
