Publisher's Synopsis
The Routledge Companion to Gender and Borderlands maps the relationship between gender and borderlands at a global scale, and sets the agenda for developing a global composite field of gender and borderlands studies.This interdisciplinary collection seeks to understand the complex nexus at which gender and the borderlands intersect, modelling radical relationality at epistemological, ontological, and activist levels. Going beyond border studies' frequent site at the US-Mexico Border, this book examines the power relations of borderlands as they play out in, influence, and reflect gender dynamics. Featuring contributors draw on case studies from around the world, and their chapters span diverse fields from anthropology, literature and history, to political science, religious studies, sociology, and the arts.The Routledge Companion to Gender and Borderlands is an indispensable resource for scholars and students engaged in border studies, gender studies, and the wide range of interlocking disciplines that inform and enrich these fields.
