Theatre, Politics, and Dissent in North India

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines diverse modes of dramatic representation and performance--myth, folklore, ritual, and history, including everyday conversation--used by women to intervene in and challenge the agenda of social movements, which conceptualized women's emancipation but imagined their role as being primarily at the core of family life.
