内容説明
This volume challenges the assumption that Muslims in India constitute a homogenous community, with specific characteristics deriving from Islam. Instead it locates the community within the social, economic and political developments that have taken place in the sub-continent, pre- and post-Independence, in order to examinine how exactly the delineation of miority identity takes place. The implications of this process for women are quite clear; social reality is gendered, yet womens attempts to assert their rights have been constrained by the pressures of communal politics. The domain of cultural politics, has generated ideologies that have subordinated gender equality to minority identity. Through an examination of history, law, politics, work and culture, this collection attempts to explore how the construction of community identity has affected Muslim women in India, the processes by which such identities are constructed, how they are represented in the cultural domain, and how the ambivalence of women's multiple identities interacts with the above.
Contributors include Barbara Metcalf, Feisal Devji, Paola Bacchetta, Elizabeth Mann, Shahida Lateef, Farid ud din Kazmi, Mukul Kesavan and Amrita Chhachhi.
