Anzaldua Book Prize presented by the National Women's Studies Association \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcid attacks against women and girls have captured the attention of the global media, with several high-profile reports ranging from the BBC to \u003ci\u003eThe Oprah Winfrey Show\u003c\/i\u003e. In Bangladesh, reasons for the attacks include women's rejection of sexual advances from men, refusal of marriage proposals, family or land disputes, and unmet dowry demands. The consequences are multiple: permanent marks on the body, disfiguration, and potential blindness. In \u003ci\u003eTransnationalism Reversed\u003c\/i\u003e, Elora Halim Chowdhury explores the complicated terrain of women's transnational antiviolence organizing by focusing on the work done in Bangladesh around acid attacks-and the ways in which the state, international agencies, local expatriates, US media, Bangladeshi immigrants in the United States, survivor-activists, and local women's organizations engage the pragmatics and the transnational rhetoric of empowerment, rescue, and rehabilitation. Grounded in careful ethnographic work, oral history, and theoretical and filmic analysis, \u003ci\u003eTransnationalism Reversed\u003c\/i\u003e makes a significant contribution to conversations around gendered violence, transnational feminist praxis, and the politics of organizing-particularly around NGOs-in the global South.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elora Halim Chowdhury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438437528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438437521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2011 pg. 101","brand":"Elora Halim Chowdhury","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065578107135,"sku":"9781438437521","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_53134b4e-c08a-4930-b119-091e852319b8.jpg?v=1768675898","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transnationalism-reversed-elora-halim-chowdhury-9781438437521","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
