Description
Although several books have explored the relationship between the state and immigrant or black women, women have rarely been studied specifically in relation to general ethnic and national processes and groupings. Similarly, many studies about nationalism and the state refer to the relationship between nationalism and racism, but the specific roles women play in these processes are rarely considered. This book examines the place of women within ethnic and national communities in nine different societies, and the ways in which the state intervenes in their lives. Contributions from a group of scholars examine the situations in their religious, economic and historical context.
