Patriarchies East and West
Sara Farris's In the Name of Women's Rights is a brave monograph that analyzes the way that the discourses of Europe's right-wing nationalists, government agencies, and liberal feminists converge in their representations of Muslim and non-western immigrant women, relegating these communities to commodified spheres of social reproductive work.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website
Of Property and Propriety: The Role of Gender and Class in Imperialism and Nationalism
Intersectionality and Primary Accumulation: Caste and Gender in India under the Sign of Monopoly-Finance Capital
The overarching goal of this article is to explain how the relations between capitalist imperialism, primary accumulation—often misleadingly called "primitive accumulation"—and intersectionality operate in contemporary global political economy. From many recent studies, it is clear that certain populations are more vulnerable to processes of primary accumulation than others, and that many people in the global South now experience the dispossessio…
Au Retour aGramsci: Reflections on Civil Society, Political Society and the State in South Asia
This article critically analyses Partha Chatterjee's recent concepts of civil society and political society, showing that their binary character is derived from a culturalist conflation of capitalism with modernity. In turn, modernity becomes equated with a naturalised liberal democratic state, precluding any appreciation of how resistance can and does shape the character of the state. Second, it compares Chatterjee's categories of civil and poli…
Accumulation through Dispossession and Accumulation through Growth: Intimations of Massacres Foretold?
John Locke, Accumulation by Dispossession and the Governance of Colonial India
This paper proposes a historical framework for examining colonial land policies in India. It argues that Locke's dualistic distinctions between settled agriculture on enclosed land and non-settled forms of livelihood framed basic differences in the ways that the colonial administration conceived of agricultural fields and forests. Locke's dichotomies between value and non-value-producing labour are also traced in early political economy, a discip…
Of Property and Propriety: The Role of Gender and Class in Imperialism and Nationalism : A Decade Later
This essay, written in reflection of earlier work, introduces the themes needed to analyze forms of gender and class oppression as these have been mediated through, and by, hegemonic projects of imperialism and nationalism. It argues that the gender critique of imperialism and nationalism should be informed by a critical epistemology that integrates class, capital, and other social relations with ideologies and practices of power. A feminist hist…
Submerged and submerging voices: Hegomony and the decline of the Narmada Bachao Andolan in Gujarat, 1998-2001
Adivasis(aboriginal peoples) in southeastern Gujarat, India, have been subjected to an accelerated process of accumulation by dispossession through the construction of large dams, as well as through the privatization of common property resources. Neo-Gandhian social movements, such as the Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA), have used transnational activism to gain exposure for these issues but in the process have lost local support in the state, partic…
Anatomy of a disaster
This article discusses the networked forms of governance that have arisen as part of roll-out neo-liberal policies in Mumbai, India, focusing on the flood of 26 July 2005 and its aftermath. The municipal government's inaction during and after the flood is attributed to the decentralization of governance, as well as to cutbacks to public health and basic services in recent years. The rise of competitive urbanism as a part of roll-out neo-liberalis…
Bodies of Evidence, Bodies of Rule: The Ilbert Bill, Revivalism, and age of Consent in Colonial India
L'A. etudie les mouvements d'opinions en Inde pendant la periode coloniale. Il analyse plus particulierement les reactions lors du passage de l'âge legal au mariage de 10 a 12 ans en 1891 ainsi que lors de la mise en place de l'amendement Ilbert qui donnait aux juges indiens le pouvoir de poursuivre des britanniques au cours d'affaires criminelles. Il envisage le lien entre racisme et renouveau religieux au Bengale entre 1870 et 1890. Il etudie l…
