Subversive Sites: Feminist Engagements With Law in India
Ratna Kapur, Brenda Cossman
This book provides a feminist analysis of the legal regulation of women in India, examining both the limitations and possibilities of the role that law can play in women's struggles for social change. Building on the work of recent feminist legal studies and critiques of dominant constructions of gender, culture, and tradition within law and legal discourse, the authors argue that law should be revisioned as a site for discursive struggle. Located at the intersection of law, feminism and social theory, this major study offers new insights into the way in which law can serve as a site for discursive struggle, rather than simply as a tool for social change. It will be of considerable interest to all those involved in feminist legal studies, sociology, gender studies, law, and social movements as well as in social, political and postcolonical theory.
