About the Journal
A pioneer in the geographic region, the journal’s concerns spread
well beyond the boundaries of citizenship, nation and the state. In
the last year it has initiated a new section on important resources,
including those from the Web.
Never exclusionist
in its focus or work, the Centre has moved towards a clearer
understanding of gender relations within the overall socio-political
system. It is, thus only appropriate that the IJGS should help
consolidate the Centre’s role as a pioneer in gender-oriented social
science research and action.
A tri-annual since
2003, the second and third issues of 2005 (11:2&3) were clubbed
together to form a special issue on Marriage and Migration in Asia,
guest edited jointly by Professor Patricia Uberoi and Dr Rajni
Palriwala. It had 11 articles including marriage migration in China,
gender relations and generational change among Malayali migrants in
Italy; cross-border marriages in Taiwan, the sale of Bangladeshi
girls as wives in north India; gender, risk and adjustment among
Pakistani marriage migrants to Britain, and domestic violence and
the Indian diaspora in the United States.
The forthcoming
issues of IJGS will carry two special sections: one on Africa, and
women’s participation in the communities and economies of African
countries like Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon; and another devoted to
an analysis of the decade that followed the International Conference
on Population and Development (ICPD) held in Cairo in 1994, with
articles on the issues of population policies, and the issues of
women’s reproductive and sexual rights written by researchers from
India, Latin America, and the USA.
