The Book
Kamaiya: Slavery and Freedom challenges the usual postcard image of ethnic groups in Nepal and the ease with which issues involving the lives of thousands of underprivileged people so easily slip off the public agenda.
During the tumultuous days after the government abolished the kamaiya system, documentary photographer Peter Lowe came to Nepal with a large format camera and the support of MS Nepal and Backward Society Education (BASE) to document the efforts of the kamaiyas themselves to turn government promises of a better life into reality.
“We should use whatever skills and opportunities we acquire to help create a more just world. The kamaiyas should have adequate land, housing and education, which they are still struggling for almost two years after the government’s historic decision to abolish the kamaiya system. We made this book together. Whether it helps to create a more just world for the kamaiyas or not depends on you,†Peter Lowe says.
