Gender, Governance and Islam Hardback
Edited by Deniz Kandiyoti, Nadje Al-Ali, Kathryn Spellman-Poots
Part of the Exploring Muslim Contexts series
Hardback
Description
Following a period of rapid political change, both globally and in relation to the Middle East and South Asia, this collection sets new terms of reference for an analysis of the intersections between global, state, non-state and popular actors and their contradictory effects on the politics of gender. The volume charts the shifts in academic discourse and global development practice that shape our understanding of gender both as an object of policy and as a terrain for activism.
Nine individual case studies systematically explore how struggles for political control and legitimacy determine both the ways in which dominant gender orders are safeguarded and the diverse forms of resistance against them.
