However, in their everyday life, Cambodian women do try to improve their situation and increase their political power, not least via manifold strategies of resistance. This book focuses on Cambodian female politicians and the strategies they deploy in their attempts to destabilize the cultural boundaries and hierarchies that restrain them. In particular, the book focuses on how women use discourses and identities as means of resistance, a concept only recently of wide interest among scholars studying power. The value of this book is thus twofold: not only does it give a unique insight into the political struggles of Cambodian women but also offers new insights to studies of power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mona Lilja\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8776940209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788776940201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nordic Institute of Asian Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.43h x 5.43w x 0.55d","brand":"Mona Lilja","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446514561279,"sku":"9788776940201","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a0f6754e-2b24-4261-b805-5a2d6893a02f.jpg?v=1777225145","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/power-resistance-and-women-politicians-mona-lilja-9788776940201","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
