Soft cover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. In the west, writing on masculinity is becoming as widespread and popular as feminist writing. Yet in India, this is new and un chartered territory waiting to be explored. Similar to the country he inhabits the Indian male is rapidly changing. India is often described as a land of contrasts, and nobody embodies so many contradictions as the men found here. Like the demon king Ravana, masculinity wears at least ten heads. Only by revealing the many facets of what it is to be an Indian man can the subject be fully understood. Through Bollywood, literature, the media and theatre, the essays in this book examine how popular culture impacts masculinities in their numerous forms. Based upon experience of lecturing in popular culture and publishing on society, cinema and gender this analysis of Indian masculinities seeks to answer a question that has grown out of current cultural conversation: What is the Indian male.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Desi Queers reveals how diasporic South Asians have shaped LGBTQ+ movements and communities in Britain, from the 1970s to the present day. Weaving the history of 1980s anti-racism with the emergence of Black LGBTQ+ and feminist coalitions, this book highlights landmark moments in British queer life and culture through South Asian lives, and illuminates British histories of colour through queer politics and creativity.From the Gay Black Group to Haringey Council's pioneering Lesbian and Gay Unit, desi queers were at the centre of anti-homophobic direct action in the 1980s, including the historic 'Smash the Backlash' demo against bigotry. This activism birthed key grassroots groups of the 1980s and 1990s, such as Shakti and Naz, whose founders and early members opened a path of creative resistance to the intersecting violence of racism and homophobia--a path of solidarity echoing through the twenty-first century.These spaces and networks have been a refuge for people doubly marginalised in Britain--by experiences of homophobia within South Asian communities, and by the whiteness of mainstream queer scenes. Drawing on artistic creations, archives and oral history, Desi Queers celebrates rich traditions of social and cultural activism alongside stories of everyday life among Britain's LGBTQ+ South Asians.…

Paperback. Condition: New. This pioneering interdisciplinary collection works across mainstream and alternative spaces such as Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, Grindr and gay men's health websites. These digital platforms are then situated within the contemporary socio-political conjuncture in India, offering a way of understanding queerness and Indian-ness in contemporary India. 'Queering' in this book does not simply refer to a sexual category rather queerness is a mode of dispossession through which certain bodies are rendered as bodies marked for discipline and regulation. This book takes on diverse strands of queer theory in order to name the ways neoliberalism, nationalism, digital technologies, and movements for queer rights converge with each other within present day India. This analytical approach to queerness in India is the first of its kind and the result is a pioneering interdisciplinary collection. …
