embodiment, womanhood and identity in contemporary India

Edición de la obra Living the body

"This book explores the development of a sociology of embodiement in the context of women's lives in contemporary, urban India. Through a critical analysis of gender and class, the author unravels the complexities that are intrinsic to the multilayered and fluid construction of woman's identity in relation to embodiment." "This book will be a compelling read for academicians and students working in the fields of sociology, women's studies, communication and media studies, anthropology, sexuality and gender studies. It would also interest a wide urban readership, especially NGOs and all those concerned about women's and gender issues."--BOOK JACKET.
