The political and social life of India in the last decade has given rise to a variety of questions concerning the nature and resilience of patriarchal systems in a transitional and post-colonial society. The contributors to this interdisciplinary volume recognize that every aspect of reality is gendered, and that such a recognition involves a dismantling of the ideological presuppositions of the so-called gender neutral ideologies, as well as the boundaries of individual disciplines.

"This fascinating exploration of female victims and criminals in colonial India lies at the intersection of several fields: colonial history, women's studies, Indian studies, political economy, and the history of crime and punishment. Using an interdisciplinary approach, Dr. Singh argues that women's crime in India was largely induced by colonial intervention, oppression, and exploitation and that the punishment for such crimes was used as a means of social control and repression. Moreover, "deviant behavior," "immorality," and "criminals" - as these terms were defined by the state alone - were most often applied to the lower castes of women, a practice that not only points to conspicuous gender inequality and classism, but also to the very thin line between victim and criminal, between abuse/violation of women and supposed judicial sanctioning for their "crimes."" "This analysis of women and criminality under colonial rule sheds light on similar transformations currently taking place in many Third World countries as it simultaneously contributes to the discussion of the "battered women syndrome" in the United States."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

"Globalisation has been an important social phenomenon in the contemporary world order. The world has become, in important respects, a single social system, as a result of which now virtually affects everyone. The global system is not just an environment within which particular societies develop and change. The social, political and economic connections, which crosscut borders between countries decisively, condition the fate of those living within each of them. But, the central question remains: Is this interdependence of world society really real or tilted in favour of the richer nations? This book presenting a collection of papers touches this central question with a variety of approaches and perspectives. Apart from the rich theoretical debate often turning into polemic with regard to globalisation, empirical studies show a clear hiatus in the prevailing world order in the aftermath of globalisation under the aegis of richer nations of the North. The essays covering a wide range of issues will interest academics and practitioners concerned with the rapidly growing field of globalisation studies."

This book marks an important new intervention into a vibrant area of scholarship, creating a dialogue between the histories of imperialism and of women and gender. By engaging critically with both traditional British imperial history and colonial discourse analysis, the essays demonstrate how feminist historians can play a central role in creating new histories of British imperialism. Chronologically, the focus is on the late eighteenth to early twentieth centuries, while geographically the essays range from the Caribbean to Australia and span India, Africa, Ireland and Britain itself. Topics explored include the question of female agency in imperial contexts, the relationships between feminism and nationalism, and questions of sexuality, masculinity and imperial power.

While sexual violence is an area that is well mapped by feminist scholarship, this volume focuses on transgresive and marginalised sexualities. It brings together writings on India that highlight the transgression of norms-of heterosexuality. Of geminist and mascline behaviour, of recognisably gendered bodies-that declare ungovermed desire to be illegitinate. Sexualities also includes a selection of campaign documents from diverse sexuality movements in the country.

Woman And Indian Modernity written by Nalini Natarajan and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2002 with Literary Criticism categories.

Drawing from the large body of criticism on non-European modernities in recent years, this study targets what seems to be a discernable ambivalence in these studies. The author seeks to investigate Twentieth-Century India?s complex negotiations with modernity, with its usefulness as well as its threat, at one of the most vulnerable points of definition, the position of women. Focusing on the disciplines or genres within which modernity is introduced, the study uses the modern literary genre, as well as intellectual disciplines. Using these two domains of study, an interdisciplinary framework is developed by looking at how narratives may be read in the light of other disciplines constructing the modern subject-ideologies of manners and ?refinement?, prohibition, ethnography, ethnopsychology, film, property law and urban history.The book argues that the possibilities in modernity are subject to a constant negotiation and become domesticated through the century, especially in the area of gendering. Gendering is revealed as a historically contingent process operating differently at different historical moments. The analysis enables us to see the ideological gender constructions and contradictions behind modern versions of caste, modern daughterhood, modern citizenhood, and modern proprietorship.
