This pioneering study places recent feminist theory from India in critical conversation with the work of key Western thinkers such as Butler, haraway and Irigaray and argues that, through such postcolonial encounters, contemporary feminist thought can begin to work 'against purity' in order to develop more complex models of power, identity and the self, ultimately to redefine 'women' as the subject of feminism.\u003cbr\u003eTheoretically grounded yet written in an accessible style, this is a unique contribution to ongoing feminist debates about identity, power and difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIrene Gedalof\u003c\/strong\u003e is Lecturer in Women's Studies at the University of North London, and an Associate Fellow at the Centre for the Study of Women and Gender, University of Warwick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 260\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.72 x 8.55 x 5.48 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 21, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45028599070859,"sku":"9780415215879","price":69.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2579\/7259\/files\/cUFSSzRhNlJ3eS9FV0JNRWZxVmp3QT09.webp?v=1766573712","url":"https:\/\/thetaletrade.com\/products\/against-purity-rethinking-identity-with-indian-and-western-feminisms-paperback","provider":"The Tale Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
