Tea & Solidarity provided an interesting look into the lives of Tamil women during the postwar era in Sri Lanka. In the novel, author Mythri Jegathesan illustrates the economic crisis that the tea industry was funneled through after the civil war in the country. As a result of the damages of the war, many individuals, notably the Tamil women, were forced to make significant life changes, whether it pertains to plantation life or domestic work. One aspect of Jegathesan’s ethnography that I enjoyed was her employment of feminist ethnographic research methods. Especially given the topic is oriented around the Tamil women and their lifestyles, she was able to utilize appropriate methods in order to understand the various experiences of these laborer women. Furthermore, throughout the reading, she sought to really expand on the political and economic significance of gender and highlighted how the Tamil women were a key feature in this regard to Sri Lanka as well as South Asia in a broader sense. I enjoyed how Jegathesan worked overall to shed light on a generally disregarded community and highlighted their labor and heritage through her ideas of dispossession and descriptions of Sri Lanka as a post colonial nation.
