Women Speak Nation: Gender, Culture, and Politics de Panchali Ray

Women Speak Nation: Gender, Culture, and Politics: South Asian History and Culture

Editat de Panchali Ray
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2021
Women Speak Nation underlines the centrality of gender within the ideological construction of nationalism. The volume locates itself in a rich scholarship of feminist critique of the relationship between political, economic, cultural, and social formations and normative gendered relations to try and understand the cross-currents in contemporary feminist theorizing and politics.




The chapters question the gendered depictions of the nation as Hindu, upper caste, middle class, heterosexual, able-bodied Indian mother. The volume also brings together interviews and short essays from practitioners and activists who voice an alternative reimagining of the nation.




The book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of gender, politics, modern South Asian history, and cultural studies.

Recenzii

"This collection of essays is a fascinating snapshot of the relationship between women and nation in present-day India. The essays, which focus on topics spanning crimes against women, women's dissent, and how the fragility of the environment and development affects women, are a powerful admonition of the political landscape of 21st-century India."
Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals.
--J. M. Morris, Mount St. Joseph University, CHOICE, March 2020 Vol. 57 No. 5
