Produktbeschreibung

""En-Gendering India" is a lucid and intelligent study of the play of gender and sexuality in Indian nationalism. Sangeeta Ray cautions against the perception that Hindu nationalism is no longer relevant in an era of globalization and migration, arguing that it has simply entered a more expansive phase. This is an important and timely book."--Jennifer Sharpe, University of California, Los Angeles
