During the past forty years, South Asia has been the location, as
well as the focus, of dynamic, important feminist scholarship and
activism. Building on that work, the contributors to this
compelling collection, prominent feminist academics and activists,
most of whom are based in South Asia and North America, examine
recent feminist interventions in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and
Bangladesh. They address feminist responses to religious
fundamentalism and secularism; globalization, labor, and migration;
militarization and state repression; public representations of
sexuality; and the cultural politics of sex work. The sixteen
essays attest to the diversity and specificity of South Asian
locations and feminist concerns, while also demonstrating how
feminist engagements in the region can enrich feminist theorizing
more broadly. They interrogate the limits, as well as the
potential, of taking South Asia as the grounds for new theoretical
work in feminism.
