Summary:

Revisiting Gender in Rapidly Changing Asia, This book is the first of its kind with a specific Asia focus, covering a wide set of contemporary issues relating to gender in Asia. Its overall objective is to revisit gender as a concept that can engage simultaneously with change and continuity in today's Asia, but with greater intellectual reflexivity to examine multiple, intersecting, and complex dimensions of identity and difference, and formerly unacknowledged sources of social power from institutions and their emerging discourses. Individual chapters, written by gender scholars from Europe and Asia, critically examine the concept of gender in the contex of emerging development issues relating to four broad thematic areas: 'Gender over Time', which basically deals with revisiting the field repeatedly or after a substantial period of time, reflecting reflexively on the value of conducting longitudinal research; Tower, 'Policy, and Practices', which revisits different dimensions of governance and power, gender mainstreaming, and activism involved; 'Environment and Resources', which deals with new ways of examining dispossessions, dams, disasters, and mobilities; and 'Justice and Human Rights', which focuses on the often complex and at times contradictory dimensions of religious and secular legal frameworks. By critically examining how revisiting gender has led the authors to rethink gender in multiple ways, some of the chapters revisit areas from previous research, while others rethink ways in which gender has been framed and depoliticized in current practices, and therefore address how gender has been changed, both as a normative process influencing social roles and relations and as an object and/or a concept of research.
