Two IUP titles reviewed in fall issue of Feminist Formations

Two IU Press books have been reviewed in the Fall 2012 issue of Feminist Formations:

Women and Social Reform in Modern India

"In order to illuminate the social and cultural contexts obscured by such shortcuts, Sarkar and Sarkar suggest using nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century reform to analyze concurrent shifts in gendered systems of social regulation, especially through religious orthodox and revivalist movements, and gendered engagements with the state, especially through law ...The Sarkars’ project, however, is much larger than creating a more accurate narrative of social reform in late-colonial India."

Wives, Widows, and Concubines

"Sreenivas’s discussion points to the importance for feminist scholarship of exploring the links among conjugality, kinship, and capitalisms both historically and today."
