Contents New cosmologies : mapping the postcolonial feminist legal project -- Erotic disruptions : legal narratives of culture, sex and nation in India -- The tragedy of victimisation rhetoric : resurrecting the 'native' subject in international/postcolonial feminist legal politics -- The other side of universality : cross-border movements and the transnational migrant subject
Summary "Centring on the Indian subcontinent, these essays deal with the sexual subaltern subject - women, sexual minorities, Muslims and transnational migrants. Law is analysed as a site of discursive engagement by a host of actors, state and non-state, including feminists, where competing understandings are in play concerning 'the West and the rest', nation and cultural authenticity, globalisation and resistance." "This book will be welcomed by teachers and researchers in law and culture, feminist and postcolonial legal theory and international human rights discourse."--Jacket
