While sexual violence is an area that is well mapped by feminist scholarship, this volume will focus on transgressive and/or marginalized sexualities. It will bring together writings on India that have highlighted the transgression of norms–of heterosexuality, of feminine and masculine behavior, of recognizably gendered bodies, that declare ungoverned desire to be illegitimate. Also included is a section of select documents from different sexuality movements in the country. This book is part of the series of Contemporary Indian Feminism . The other books in the series Gender & Caste edited by Anupama Rao, Feminism in In dia edited by Maitreyee Chaudhuri, Dowry & Inheritance edited by Srimati Basu.
