The volume locates itself in a rich scholarship of feminist critique of the relationship between political, economic, cultural and social formations and normative gendered relations to try and understand the cross currents in contemporary feminist theorizing and politics. The volume explores spaces, movements, identities, politics, and performances that capture intersections between 'institutionalized' nationalism and unsanctioned spaces that censure such official representations of the nation. The essays question the gendered depictions of the nation as Hindu, upper caste, middle-class, heterosexual, able bodied Indian mother. The volume also brings together interviews and short essays from practitioners, and activists who voice an alternative re-imagining of the nation"-- Provided by publisher.
