013 - White Dancing Elephants by Chaya Bhuvaneswar

03/18/19 • 22 min

Gen and Jette discuss Chaya Bhuvaneswar's short story collection, White Dancing Elephants - a collection of stories spotlighting diverse women of colour that face sexual harassment and racial violence, and occasionally inflicting that violence on each other. White Dancing Elephants explores feminist, queer, religious, and immigrant stories with precision, drama, and compassion. Show Notes: Follow Chaya on Twitter @chayab77 or check out her website – www.chayabhuvaneswar.com Gen was almost right in recounting the Bhopal disaster but may have mixed up a few other disasters. Go check it out as people of that era focused on Chernobyl and this story seems to have been mostly forgotten. Follow our social media for an upcoming giveaway!!
