This close study demonstrates how India's revolutionary women shaped a new female - and in some cases feminist - political subject in the twentieth century, in collaboration and contestation with Indian nationalist, liberal-feminist, and European left-wing models of womenhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough a wide range of writings by, and about, revolutionary and communist women, including memoirs, autobiographies, novels, party documents, and interviews, Ania Loomba traces the experiences of these women, showing how they were constrained by, but also how they questioned, the gendered norms of Indian political culture. A collection of carefully restored photographs is dispersed throughout the book, helping to evoke the texture of these women's political experiences, both public and private. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRevolutionary Desires is an original and important intervention into a neglected area of leftist and feminist politics in India by a major voice in feminist studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ania Loomba\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815381743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815381747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Ania Loomba","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45482450223359,"sku":"9780815381747","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_20bc4d10-fa3e-4801-b419-143063d342b0.jpg?v=1715998569","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/revolutionary-desires-ania-loomba-9780815381747","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
