Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. They said Garo women were free.She inherited the land - and the silence that came with it.In the matrilineal villages of Meghalaya's Garo Hills, daughters inherit. Property passes from mother to youngest daughter. Husbands move into wives' households. For over a century, scholars, journalists, and feminist theorists have pointed to this system as living proof that patriarchy is not inevitable - that another world is possible.But the women who live inside that world tell a different story.In Matriarchy Interrogated, Garo scholar and researcher Thangkan Ch Marak goes beyond the celebrated surface of matrilineal inheritance to ask the questions that outsiders have never thought to ask: Who makes the decisions? Who carries the burden? What does it actually mean to own land you cannot fully control?This is not a condemnation of Garo culture. Nor is it a celebration. It is something rarer and more necessary: an honest reckoning - by an insider who loves his community enough to refuse it easy praise.For readers of gender studies, postcolonial theory, indigenous knowledge, and South Asian culture, Matriarchy Interrogated is a landmark work that challenges everything we thought we knew about matriliny, power, and what it means to be a woman who inherits."You never ask who carries the burden." - Merol Sangma, nokna This item is printed on demand.
