Reviews
"This poignant, timely, and urgent discussion of rape and sexual politics in rural India, Oza underscores that Dalit women's bodies, often marked by the problematic images of vigilante justice, are defined by their sexual subjectivity and are not victims. Instead, they are complex sexual subjects which assert their choices in rape cases. . . . Oza's monograph, therefore, makes an important contribution to the fields of gender, women's and sexuality studies, transnational studies, anthropology, and South Asian studies. It will also be helpful for introductory feminist theory graduate courses." -- Nidhi Shrivastava * South Asian Review *
"An interesting read for scholars pursuing research on gender/women's studies, sexuality, and related topics. Policymakers should find this book interesting to sensitise authorities dealing with cases of violence against women." -- Rituparna Bhattacharyya * Asian Studies Review *
