{"product_id":"desi-girls-von-johanna-sommansson","title":"Desi Girls!","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book attempts to understand how gender is expressed and  negotiated in the everyday lives of young urban girls in South Delhi.  Being a Desi girl is a paradox: on one hand they want to be good  girls ¿ subservient, humble and obedient ¿ but on the other hand  they are negotiating and challenging the normative behaviour when  it comes to issues like marriage, go out pubing, or to talking back to  their parents. In this book, I investigate the societal femininity  discourse and the possible discrepancy between the discourse and  the actual behaviour.  In constructing a body of knowledge with a foundation in the  theoretical framework of discourse analysis, I illustrate how  institutions like marriage, family, societal norms, space, and  relations between the sexes, are juxtaposed in the area of gender.  This book reveals how gender identity is constructed, not as  individual accounts, but as juxtapositions of perspectives of  individual agency and manifestations of discourses.  This book facilitates an understanding of the young Delhi for  students of Anthropology or South East Asian studies and for  everyone else with an interest in gender analysis in the field of India.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838356297\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA study of urban middle-class Delhi girls' expressions and negotiations of gender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838356297","offer_id":39469148569693,"sku":"9783838356297","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/b5011d6f-8c55-4cb7-856e-092cd087d26c.jpg?v=1737183452","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/desi-girls-von-johanna-sommansson","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
