This volume investigates how, where and when subjects and citizens
come into being, assert themselves and exercise subjecthood or
citizenship in the formation of modern India. It argues for the
importance of understanding legal practice - how rights are
performed in dispute and negotiation - from the parliament and
courts to street corners and field sites. The essays in the book
explore themes such as land law and rights, court procedure,
freedom of speech, sex workers' mobilisation, refugee status,
adivasi people and non-state actors, and bring together studies
from across north India, spanning from early colonial to
contemporary times. Representing scholarship in history,
anthropology and political science that draws on wide-ranging field
and archival research, the volume will immensely benefit scholars,
students and researchers of development, history, political
science, sociology, anthropology, law and public policy.
This volume explores the subterfuges, strategies, and choices that
Australian women writers have navigated in order to challenge
patriarchal stereotypes and assert themselves as writers of
substance. Contextualized within the pioneering efforts of white,
Aboriginal, and immigrant Australian women in initiating an
alternative literary tradition, the text captures a wide range of
multiracial Australian women authors' insightful reflections on
crucial issues such as war and silent mourning, emergence of a
Australian national heroine, racial purity and Aboriginal
motherhood, communism and activism, feminist rivalry, sexual
transgressions, autobiography and art of letter writing, city space
and female subjectivity, lesbianism, gender implications of spatial
categories, placement and displacement, dwelling and travel,
location and dislocation and female body politics. Claiming Space

the canter of contemporary political discourse.
