Produktbeschreibung

Examines the relationships between gender and power that have accompanied the rise of Asian affluence. This work seeks to prompt a series of questions about links between gender, modernity and globalization in the region and pursues two major themes: that gender relations are central to the makings of the middle classes and modernity in the region; and that representations of gender occupy a central place in the contests about meanings and identities accompanying these processses. The book provides more than just an analysis of Asian women, it demonstrates the central importance of gender in the modernizing and globalizing of Asia.

---

Gender and Power in Affluent Asia is the first major study to analyse the relatioships between gender and power that have accompanied the rise of Asian affluence.
