This exciting new volume debunks overly simplistic conceptions of Dowry. Taking a variety of theoretical and active approaches, this work bridges the gap between today's prevailing theory and practice, whilst taking South Asian women's own experiences as a starting point to any discussion.

The groundbreaking, multidisciplinary book is essential reading for students, policymakers, practitioners and activists alike.
