From the publisher

In Tension , Nikita Kaur Simpson examines the effects of rapid development in the Himalayas on the minds and bodies of the Gaddi people who inhabit them through attention to the multifaceted state of distress they call "tension." This "tension" takes many forms: Kamzori , or weakness, in the bodies of elderly women; "Future tension" accumulating in the minds of young girls; or Opara , or black magic, afflicting whole families.
