Bonbibi: A Religion of the Forest in the Sundarbans
Arcadia, Summer 2020, no. 22
Investigates the significance of the Sundarbans as a natural reserve or buffer area (a resource of yet unknown magnitude) in pre-colonial, colonial, and post-colonial South Asia.
This is a portrait of an environmental migrant from the Sundarbans, West Bengal, who, like thousands before her, is vulnerable and powerless against the fury of the sea.
