Opis
Earth Dance, the story of four generations of Balinese women, centers on
conflicts that arise between the demands of caste and personal desires.
Narrated by Ida Ayu Telaga, a Balinese woman in her thirties, the novel
shows Balinese women-as depicted by her mother, grandmother
and female peers-to be motivated by two factors: the yearning to be
beautiful, and the desire for a high-caste husband.
conflicts that arise between the demands of caste and personal desires.
Narrated by Ida Ayu Telaga, a Balinese woman in her thirties, the novel
shows Balinese women-as depicted by her mother, grandmother
and female peers-to be motivated by two factors: the yearning to be
beautiful, and the desire for a high-caste husband.
Headstrong Telaga defies her mother's wishes and marries the man
of her dreams, who is a commoner. Thus, in a reversal of societal
expectations, as shown in the novel by images of women who aspire to
"liberation" through "marrying up", Telaga's emancipation is implicitly
characterized as a move downwards, through transformation to the
status of a commoner.
Earth Dance also reveals that-like high-caste status-beauty, too, has
a price. Behind the thick, glossy hair and golden complexion, lies a web
of jealousy, derision and intrigue. Telaga, whose life is controlled by her
mother's avarice, her mother-in-law's bitterness and the greed of her
sister-in-law, has frequent cause to wonder: "Is this what it means to be
a woman"
