On the Map: Feminist Political Ethnography in Gendered Citizenship


 In Gendered Citizenship: Understanding Gendered Violence in Democratic India, Natasha Behl explores the gap between the promise of gender equality enshrined in the Indian Constitution and contemporary patterns of sexual and gendered-based violence and discrimination in democratic India. This essay explores the political ideas, meaning making, and the interplay of state and civilian discourses undergirding forms of gendered violence illuminated by Behl’s feminist and interpretive approach. The essay closes by tracing two themes for further inquiry—feminist geographies and political openings/closures—and offers some preliminary engagement.
