Overview

Transformation and Change in the Garos Community of Bangladesh: A Study of Gender and Power in Mandigaon is a study focusing on the Garos (Mandi), a small matrilineal ethnic community of Bangladesh, particularly, about the changes in their residence pattern and its implications on gender roles and male and female power in the society. The central concern of the study is an exploration of the relationship between post marital residence, gender relations and power among the Garos of Bangladesh. Since change in residence pattern has been associated with other considerations, the study also focuses on social, political, economic and environmental consequences of the changes in the kinship system of the Garos. It is hoped that the wealth of information presented here will be added to the anthropological literature related to Garo affairs of Bangladesh, and contribute to the understanding of the process of social, political, economic and environmental changes in the kinship system of the Garos.
