Reseña del editor:

Rapid economic development in East and South-East Asia and the process of globalization has led to dramatic social change in the region. Women and their roles and expectations within society and the economy have been specifically affected by the swift emergence of new money in the region. Gender and Power in Affluent Asia is the first major study to provide analysis of the relationships between gender and power that have accompanied the rise of asian affluence. The book seeks to prompt a series of questions about the links between gender, modernity and globalisation in the region and pursues two major themes: * gender relations are central to the making of the middle classes and modernity in the region * representations of gender occupy a central place in the contests about meanings and identities accompanying these processes. Gender and Power in Affluent Asia is an innovative work that provides coverage of a complex topic that has often been neglected.
