This edited volume is a decolonial/deconstructive approach to South Asian gender and sexuality studies, which it reimagines through a pluralized, multivariate lens. New understandings of South Asia have emerged during the time of unrest and shifting geopolitics. It is critical to re-envision gender engagements in ways that decenter universalizing hegemonic feminist debates, both from global and national metropole and instead rearticulate gender and sexuality through critical regionalism, border-politics, land and social movements, indigeneity, law and jurisprudence and broader social textuality. Building bridges across disciplines and between scholars and activists, the chapters in the book offer perspectives from the humanities, social sciences, public health, international relations and law, as well as organizers and advocates committed to women and gender studies.
Ahonaa Roy is Associate Professor of Anthropology, Sociology and Policy Studies at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India, and Research Associate at the Department of Sociology, University of Pretoria, South Africa.
