The volumes seeks to explore the interrelationships between race, class and gender - an urgent concern in contemporary scholarship, but one rarely undertaken. The volume pays attention to 'hot issues' such as sexuality, nation building and citizenship. The volume considers a wide historical range from pre-colonial Africa to twentieth-century India.
This volume focuses on complicating central concepts in the understanding of economic and social history: class, gender, race and ethnicity. Only recently have historians begun to ask how gender, race, and ethnicity as categories of analysis change narratives of class formation and working-class experience. While all three concepts refer to systems of inequality, it remains unclear how these systems of difference relate to each other. Despite a growing body of empirical literature, authors more often connect dyads rather than consider historical phenomenan from the tryad of class, race and gender. This volume highlights attempts to write a richer history that complicates categories, suggesting how class, gender, race and/or ethnicity combine across a wide range of economic and social landscapes.
