Viac o knihe

The book explores the evolving landscape of gender and sexual politics in India amid global neoliberalism, highlighting the dual impact of economic liberalization on women's rights and queer activism. Through a decade-long ethnography of two organizations in West Bengal—one focused on LGBTQ+ issues and the other on rural women's empowerment—Roy examines how local feminist movements interact with transnational forces. She reveals the complexities of activist governance and the transformative potential of feminism, illustrating its co-optation and resilience within contemporary society.
