Using case studies on gender from diverse geographies--east, west, north, south, and northeast; community locations--Hindu, Muslim, and Christian; and marginalized socio-economic or ethnic habitations such as those of Dalits and Adivasis, the contributors highlight the complexities and diversities of women's negotiations of patriarchies in varied social, ethnic, and community contexts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCollectively, the chapters in this volume focus on three related and overlapping settings--colonial, colonial and postcolonial continuum, and postcolonial. They delineate the multiple lives of gender by focusing on its intersections with other markers of difference including race, class, caste, sexuality, culture, ethnicity, region, and occupation, thereby questioning stereotypes, challenging dated notions and interpretations of gender, and demonstrating the ubiquity of patriarchy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lata Singh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198900783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198900788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 1.10d","brand":"Lata Singh","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46140880486655,"sku":"9780198900788","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96ac12a4-e31c-46ed-935a-90c01fb4dc2a.jpg?v=1726597298","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gender-in-modern-india-lata-singh-9780198900788","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
