The Indian state of Kerala has invoked much attention within development and gender debates, specifically in relation to its female capital- an outcome of interrelated historical, cultural and social practices. On the one hand, Kerala has been romanticised, with its citizenry, particularly women, being free of social divisions and uplifted through educational well-being. On the other hand, its realism is stark, particularly in the light of recent social changes.
Using a Bourdieusian frame of analysis, Development and Gender Capital in India explores the forces of globalisation and how they are embedded within power structures. Through narratives of womens lived experiences in the private and public domains, it highlights the anomie of gender through complexities and contradictions vis--vis processes of modernity, development and globalisation. By demonstrating the limits placed upon gender capital by structures of patriarchy and domination, it argues that discussions about the empowered Malayalee women should move from a mere politics of rhetoric and representation to a more embedded politics of transformation, meaningfully taking into account womens changing roles and identities.
This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Development Studies, Gender Studies, Anthropology and Sociology.
