Diaspora
This is a booklet about Nepali women diaspora produced by the Feminism Project Nepal and the Alliance Française de Katmandou (AFK). It contains eleven testimonies showing Nepali diaspora women's difficulties in coping with their multicultural backgrounds.
How to remain “Nepali enough” in the eyes of the expatriated Nepali community? How to integrate into the Western society? How to cultivate this cross-cultural background? Progressively, these small stories shape a bigger story which allows us to discover the Nepali contemporary society from a different perspective. Each protagonist tells her story, her questioning and her own development. This is a fragment of the reality of a Nepali diaspora generation.
