Sexualities( Series - Issues In Contemporary Indian Feminism )

While sexual violence is an area that is well mapped by feminist scholarship, this volume will focus on transgressive and/or marginalized sexualities. It will bring together writings on India that have highlighted the transgression of norms--of heterosexuality, of feminine and masculine behavior, of recognizably gendered bodies, that declare ungoverned desire to be illegitimate. Also included is a section of select documents from different sexuality movements in the country. This book is part of the series of "Contemporary Indian Feminism," The other books in the series are: "Gender & Caste" edited by Anupama Rao, "Feminism in In"dia edited by Maitreyee Chaudhuri, "Dowry & Inheritance" edited by Srimati Basu.
