Book Family  Gender  and Law in a Globalizing Middle East and South Asia

Download or read book Family Gender and Law in a Globalizing Middle East and South Asia written by Kenneth M. Cuno and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2009-12-28 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this collection examine issues of gender, family, and law in the Middle East and South Asia. In particular, the authors address the impact of colonialism on law, family, and gender relations; the role of religious politics in writing family law and the implications for gender relations; and the tension between international standards emerging from UN conferences and conventions and various nationalist projects. Employing the frame of globalization, the authors highlight how local and global forces interact and influence the experience and actions of people who engage with the law. By virtue of a "south-south" comparison of two quite similar and culturally linked regions, contributors avoid positing "the West" as a modern telos. Drawing upon the fields of anthropology, history, sociology, and law, this volume offers a wide-ranging exploration of the complicated history of jurisprudence with regard to family and gender.

Book Kinship and Gender in South and Southeast Asia

Download or read book Kinship and Gender in South and Southeast Asia written by Leela Dube and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a realization that gender relations are constructed differently in different cultures. But we need to understand the nature of cultural diversity and its relationship with women's situation. A key area of cultural diversity is kinship, which subsumes marriage and family organization. Kinship systems are an important context within which gender relations are located. Gender studies often leave out a direct consideration of kinship, perhaps because it is often thought irrelevant or in some ways an immutable, unchangeable given. It may also seem to be couched in arcane and difficult language. In point of fact it is very close to our lives and very relevant for understanding women's situation.

Download or read book Unfamiliar Relations written by Indrani Chatterjee and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unfamiliar Relations restores the family and its many forms and meanings to a central place in the history of South Asia between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. In her incisive introduction, Indrani Chatterjee argues that the recent wealth of scholarship on ethnicity, sexuality, gender, imperialism, and patriarchy in South Asia during the colonial period often overlooks careful historical analysis of the highly contested concept of family. Together, the essays in this book demolish "family" as an abstract concept in South Asian colonial history, demonstrating its exceedingly different meanings across temporal and geographical space. The scholarship in this volume reveals a far more complex set of dynamics than a simple binary between indigenous and colonial forms and structures. It approaches this study from the pre-colonial period on, rather than backwards as has been the case with previous scholarship. Topics include a British colonial officer who married a Mughal noblewoman and converted to Islam around the turn of the nineteenth century, the role gossip and taboo play in the formation of Indian family history, and an analysis of social relations in the penal colony on the Andaman Islands.

Book Structures and Strategies

Download or read book Structures and Strategies written by Leela Dube and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1990-01-31 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third volume in the series Women and the Household in Asia, this unique book explores the interlinkages between two themes central to the analysis of gender - family structure and intra-household relations, and work and production. The rich ethnographic studies - from Bangladesh, Iran, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, South Korea and Thailand - challenge the erroneous conception of an isolated individual household and of a common undifferentiated Asian model of the position of women and gender relations. The contributors discuss women's work and autonomy in relation to the management and control of female sexuality; the changing character to the division of labour and redefinition of work in the context of wider economic processes; the changing context of the centrality of women in the kinship system in relation to the production system; differing connotations of household headship; migration and gender; women's entitlements and rights to resources; and exploitative mechanisms at the national and international levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 40 years, Professor Patricia Jeffery, Professor Emerita in Sociology, University of Edinburgh, carried out pioneering research, individually and in partnership with her colleagues. The range of subjects she covered includes gender and development, especially childbearing, women’s reproductive rights, social demography in South Asia, Indian society, gender and communal politics, education and the reproduction of inequality; race and ethnicity. Her books, including Frogs in a Well: Indian Women in Purdah (1979) and Appropriating Gender: Women’s Activism, Politicized Religion and the State in South Asia (edited with Amrita Basu, 1998) inspired peers and future scholars alike. In this volume, we bring together a range of new research that is inspired by and intersects with Professor Jeffery’s work. The chapters offer new data, refreshing insights and original analysis on subjects of contemporary importance in the fields of gender, health, marginalization and development.

Book Gender Relations in Forest Societies in Asia

Download or read book Gender Relations in Forest Societies in Asia written by Govind Kelkar and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2003-12-06 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extrait de la couverture : "Of the numerous available studies on forest management in Asia, only a few mention the role of women or pay attention to gender relations. Even projects are largely designed in terms of households or communities where men are the decision-makers and the owners or managers of forests. This important volume views gender relations as a crucial factor in the management of land and forests, and maintains that the continuing invisibility of women in these areas only compounds poverty, shortages, and the increased workloads of forest-based women. Based on fieldwork conducted in several forest societies in China, Thailand, India and Malaysia, the contributors explore the changes in gender relations within indigenous communities, from matrilineal and/or gender egalitarian systems to ones where male domination is the norm."
