Using a critical postcolonial feminist lens, this book provides a contextualized exploration of English legal responses to polygamy. Through the legacies of British imperialism, the book shows how attitudes to polygamy are shaped by indifference and hostility towards its participants. This goes beyond the law, as shown by the stories of women shared throughout the book negotiating their identities and relationships in the UK today. Through its analysis, the book demonstrates how polygamy and polygamous wives are subjected to imperialist and orientalist discourses which dehumanise them for practising a relationship that has existed for millennia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zainab Batul Naqvi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1529209692\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781529209693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Zainab Batul Naqvi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44128265011455,"sku":"9781529209693","price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_617452b1-8f4c-4bc8-ae86-a29c3c611b3d.jpg?v=1687457819","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/polygamy-policy-and-postcolonialism-in-zainab-batul-naqvi-9781529209693","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
