Both men and women can respond to nationalistic calls to fight that portray muscular warriors defending their nation against an easily recognizable enemy. This ?us versus them? mentality can be seen in sectarian violence between Hindus and Muslims, Tamils and Sinhalas, Serbs and Kosovars, and Protestants and Catholics. In Muscular Nationalism, Sikata Banerjee takes a comparative look at India and Ireland and the relationship among gender, violence, and nationalism. Exploring key texts and events from 1914-2004, Banerjee explores how women negotiate ?muscular nationalisms? as they seek to be recognized as legitimate nationalists and equal stakeholders in their national struggles.Banerjee argues that the gendered manner in which dominant nationalism has been imagined in most states in the world has had important implications for women?s lived experiences. Drawing on a specific intersection of gender and nationalism, she discusses the manner in which women negotiate a political and social terrain infused with a masculinized dream of nation-building. India and Ireland?two states shaped by the legacy of British imperialism and forced to deal with modern political/social conflict centering on competing nationalisms?provide two provocative case studies that illuminate the complex interaction between gender and nation. 410 0$aGender and political violence series. 606 $aWomen$zIndia$xHistory 606 $aWomen$zIreland$xHistory 606 $aMasculinity$zGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aNationalism$xHistory 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen$xHistory. 615 0$aMasculinity$xHistory. 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory. 676 $a305.4209415 700 $aBanerjee$b Sikata$0905148 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461681803321 996 $aMuscular nationalism$92456293 997 $aUNINA
