Erotic justice

"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."--BOOK JACKET.
