Recenzii
The importance of the topic, the well-designed and well-conducted research, and Roychowdhury's insightful analyses of the complicated issues surrounding legal reforms, violence, and implementation of rights in the twenty-first century make Capable Women, Incapable States a valuable and very useful book for scholars and students of gender, law, and states...Capable Women, Incapable States will be an excellent way to start conver- sations with students, especially in courses on law, gender, feminist legal theory, and human rights, and will motivate further research in this area.
brilliant, pathbreaking work ... apable Women, Incapable States is a tour de force, an analysis of the state from multiple perspectives that should influence a new generation of legal andpolitical scholarship
...it is the subjective shift Roychowdhury documents when women learn that the law is a strategic field open to them to engage with and manipulate that proves the most enduring lesson. These women's recognition that the legal system can be strategically navigated as a way to claim rights is perhaps the strongest justification for developing 'capability'. In doing so, Roychowdhury presents a clear case for why rights continue to matter even in the face of incapable systems of justice.
This book is a must read for scholars and activists, especially those who are interested in deepening their understanding of gender-based violence, women's empowerment, and agency in the context of the state and its political, administrative, and legal systems and mechanisms. The book provides a first-hand account of violence and women's journeys through risky and labourious paths for claiming justice.
