Recenzje

An analytical, wide-ranging, and superlative study of Indian women within the Hindutva movement. Williams superbly juxtaposes their attendant empowerment with the country's consolidating illiberalism. Ultimately, Marginalized, Mobilized, Incorporated is indispensable for understanding the Bharatiya Janata Party's contemporary dominance.
