Opis

Using Kerala as a model, this book explores the forces of globalisation and how they are embedded within power structures. Through narratives of women’s lived experiences in the private and public domains, it highlights the ‘anomie of gender’ through complexities and contradictions via processes of modernity, development and globalisation.
