The book delves into the intricate politics of representation and the process of exoticising women's bodies through the lens of external gaze and knowledge production. It uncovers the complexities of representational discourses surrounding cultural practices such as female circumcision (FC)/female genital cutting (FGC) and Islamic veiling. By examining critical international legal texts and national legislation, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the cultural nuances associated with FC/FGC and juxtaposes them with the Indian variation known as khafz. The author conducts a study of international veiling narratives that evoke a fractured discourse encompassing elements of colonialism, Islamophobia, and Islamic fashion, and maps them with the regional variations of Islamic purdah in India. The volume explores the cultural practice of khafz and purdah through narratives in India, shedding light on how representational factors from international discourses resonate within the Indian context and vice versa.
Amid the realm of dichotomies and polarized perspectives, the book presents a nuanced examination of the space in-between, characterized by narratives from women. By situating women's narratives in relation to family, community, state, and international politics, the book explores the global-Indian interplay of discourses on FC/FGC and Islamic veiling. This volume holds appeal to scholars, students, and enthusiasts of gender studies, feminism, cultural and religious studies, sociology, South Asian studies, and International Relations.
