The
three essays in this volume explore the changing
parameters of struggles over gender in Pakistan.
In the process, the author attempts to theoretically
traverse the boundaries between public and private
domains, the State and what is often referred to
as 'civil society', the individual and the collective,
and the local and the international through a discussion
of sovereignty and citizenship; the growing nexus
between militarism, masculinism and fundamentalism;
and the rapid shrinking of democratic spaces in
the country. |
