Soft cover. Condition: USED_ASNEW. The 1990s were a turning point for the Indian Women's Movement (IWM). New challenges complicated old issues, affecting our analyses and our strategies for mobilising. Feminists were pushed into questioning the universal category of 'woman', by women from minority communities and marginalised castes or sexualities, or by those with disabilities. New forms of feminist activism emphasised both the specificities and commonalities of oppression that women in different locations experience, based on power and privilege; they called for reconceptualising family, marriage, community, caste, sexuality, labour and violence. Gaining Ground maps these new contours by taking up five critical interventions made by movements that grew out of the IWM but established distinct identities around their concerns. Muslim women came together around community identity; Dalit women highlighted gender and caste patriarchy; sex workers challenged prevalent definitions of work; queer politics critiqued heteronormative sexuality; and women with disabilities raised searching questions about what constitutes an ideal body. In the process, feminists and the women's movement were called upon to acknowledge the gaps, tensions and differences in their struggles thus far, to incorporate these perspectives in their theory and practice, and to forge alliances across difference. Sadhna Arya offers a compelling and comprehensive account of the expanding horizons of feminist organising, and of the vitality of women's movements in India in the 21st century.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Feminist movements in India have come a long way since its beginnings in 1970s not simply by way of visibility and breaking silence on gender issues but through developing our understanding of complexity and interconnectedness of patriarchies along with specificity of struggles waged by women/genders from different sections of society. There is a higher and deeper articulation of gender issues highlighting the complex and connected forms of violence and oppression experienced by women/genders along with reconceptualization of family, marriage, community, caste, sexuality, and labour. The volume provides a window to current feminist debates and discourses as also struggles, underscoring that there is not a unified women's movement, but various streams within it. Feminist research and studies have brought in a critical evaluation of terms, concepts and methods in existing social sciences and which, thankfully, have been finding their place in curriculum of different disciplines in universities. But there is still an acute lack of reflective and analytical reading materials for present generations of students and teachers on the ongoing feminist issues and debates in India. This volume aims to fill this lacuna and attempts to cover a range of issues, debates and struggles confronting feminist movements and studies.
