Men and feminism in India
Material type: TextPublication details: London Routledge 2018Description: 256pISBN: 978113836595Subject(s): Men--Attitudes Feminism-India Gender issues-Indian societyDDC classification: 305.420954 Summary: The relationship between men and feminism is frequently assumed to be antagonistic. This volume confronts this assumption by bringing critical attention to men’s engagement in feminist research, pedagogy, and activism in India. The chapters in this collection respond to two broad thematic concerns: theoretical implications of men producing feminist knowledge and the history of men’s participation in feminist endeavours. The volume also explores the undocumented contributions of men to three domains of feminist activity: institutionalization of feminism in the academy, social movements aimed at gender justice, and male writings on gender and sexuality. Delving into an important yet overlooked aspect of the social sciences, this volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of gender studies, masculinity studies, modern Indian history, sociology, and social anthropology.Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
