| Abstract | "This book examines various gender-based power politics in the Indian society. It studies gender intersectionality and feminism as a socio-political philosophy by understanding how power structures deeply rooted in and are supported by our patriarchal societies. A comprehensive and interdisciplinary study on women's issues in India, the volume, adopts an intersectional feminist lens to critically analyze identity formation, gender socialization, gender stereotyping and discrimination; discusses various interdisciplinary perspectives of feminism, including liberal and post-modern feminism, eco-feminism, and Dalit feminism, examines the concept and origin of patriarchy, alongside theories on masculinity while focusing heterogeneous male members and the hegemonic masculinity; investigates issues related to violence against gender and adequate implementation of law and rehabilitation policies in India; sheds light on women's labor and participation in the organized, service and unorganized sectors of work within India. This book will be of interest and use to students, teachers, scholars of women's and gender studies, intersectional feminism, sexuality studies, identity politics, political sociology at both undergraduate and post graduate levels"-- Provided by publisher. |
