Synopsis

The essays in this volume explore gender as a point of crisis in the cultural, social and political space of India. They attribute the existence of these crises to conflicts between gender, on the one hand, and family, community and nation on the other. These are then analysed in terms of female identity, subjectivity and agency within a narrative of historical modernity.
