Description
These poems by an author of Coptic (Egyptian Christian Orthodox) daughter of immigrants, depict, explore, and question the burden of Taslim ("Commandments") on Coptic girls. Taslim is the "oral transmission of heritage and ancestral knowledge." The poems highlight the ways in which diaspora Coptic women navigate tasl?m or the responsibilities of transmitting ancestral knowledge while reckoning with its costs: deferred joy and pleasure until the afterlife, an almost compulsory notion of motherhood, and a gendered comportment of ascetic and martyr living, even in diaspora. Taslim in the insecure Christian minority of Egypt became a rigid bind in the immigrant communities abroad.
