Global processes with flows in money, commodities and people have
made it increasingly varied and blurred what it means to be a
female or male in Asia today. Socio-economic and cultural patterns
in Asia intersect with one another and, in doing so, they translate
into power relations that create both possibilities and constraints
for women and men. By focusing on unequal access to political and
religious power, occupation and health facilities, as well as
different options when it comes to family life and sexuality, the
recognition of women and men are explored in this volume as
manifestations of ideas about femininity and masculinity.Readers
will find insightful and enriching contributions that consider how
gender relations in Asia - and indeed the very meaning of gender
itself - are affected by neo-liberalism, globalization and economic
growth; security in all of its meanings; multiculturalism, race and
class; family life, power and intergenerational support; religious
discourses and activism; and by male norms in politics.This title
highlights the complex ways in which the positions of women and men
are configured, recognized and contested in a rapidly transforming
region. It offers a fresh multidisciplinary perspective on gender
inequalities.
