Gendering Security and Insecurity

Navtej K. Purewal is Reader in Political Sociology and Development Studies at SOAS University of London, UK. Her recent publications have focused on gender and neoliberal governmentality as well as assemblages of gender/caste/religion through resistance in South Asia. She is a member of the Feminist Review editorial collective.

This comprehensive volume contributes to debates which seek to move feminist scholarship away from the reification of the war/peace and security/economy divides. It was originally published as an online special issue of the journal Third World Thematics.
