Mahua Sarkar

Visible Histories, Disappearing Women

Producing Muslim Womanhood in Late Colonial Bengal

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

""Visible Histories, Disappearing Women" is an analytically insightful, genuinely original work that breaks new ground in South Asian history, gender and women's studies, postcolonial theory, and historical sociology. One of its strengths is Mahua Sarkar's insistence that history as a discipline and feminism as a politics have disappeared the Muslim woman as a subject."--Antoinette Burton, editor of "Archive Stories: Facts, Fictions, and the Writing of History"
