{"product_id":"gender-sexuality-and-feminism-in-amina-yaqin-9781839998027","title":"Gender, Sexuality and Feminism in Pakistani Urdu Writing","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this book, the author critically interrogates the construction of gender, community and nation in the work of progressive women poets. The book combines the study of nation and community through a close engagement with Urdu literary culture in the twentieth century and particularly the work of pioneering literary women. It argues that gender and sexuality become fixed signifiers in the trauma of partition and the formation of the post-partition Islamic nation. The story of literary women in Pakistan taking up the mantle of public poets thus has to be understood in relation to the history of reform, anti-colonial resistance and a transnational Islamicate culture. The book examines the presence of feminist thought in the work of progressive women poets charting their interrogation of the clash between secular and sacred values and the increasing split between liberal and Islamic nationalism. The book suggests that through their writing and experiences, women have negotiated sacred and secular spaces to move beyond a community that is subservient to nationalist ideology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amina Yaqin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1839998024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781839998027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.67d","brand":"Amina Yaqin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48460232261887,"sku":"9781839998027","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a0d53b0c-3ba8-4a2f-bf76-10e4fbb0b5dd.jpg?v=1777413424","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gender-sexuality-and-feminism-in-amina-yaqin-9781839998027","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
