Esteemed Journalist Gaiutra Bahadur to Discuss her book "Coolie Woman" at Manhattan College on April 2
Gaiutra Bahadur will discuss her first book, "Coolie Woman", at Manhattan College’s annual Women and Gender Studies lecture on Wednesday, April 2.
“Coolie” is British slang for indentured laborers who replaced the
emancipated slaves on sugar plantations, from India to the West Indies.
This book captures the survival of these women and offers an exploration
of gender and power, peril and opportunity.
The discussion is free and open to the public, and will begin at 4 p.m. in Hayden Hall, room 100.
