001441138 520__ $$aElaborating on gendered power relations in a little-known area of Pakistan, Nadia Agha explores how women in the cultural context of Khairpur actively participate in mitigating their own subordination by playing by the cultural rules and hence ensure their economic survival. As poverty and social insecurity are at the foundation of why women must acquiesce to patriarchal control, she shows how they often adopt survival strategies to enable their agency to gain societal approval within prevailing strict patriarchal boundaries. Professor Agha deftly shows that when women make choices to accommodate others, this is often actually a strategy they can use to gain some semblance of power. This is an important contribution to our understanding of choices women make within patriarchy in South Asia and how they can eke out some power by doing so. Professor Anita M. Weiss, International Studies, University of Oregon, Author of Interpreting Islam, Modernity and Womens Rights in Pakistan (Palgrave Macmillan, 2014) and Countering Violent Extremism in Pakistan: Local Actions, Local Voices (Oxford University Press, 2020) The book provides insights into the prevailing patriarchal system in rural Pakistan. It elaborates on the kinship system in rural Sindh and explores how young married women strategize and negotiate with patriarchy. Drawing on qualitative methodologies, the book reveals the strong relationship between poverty and the perpetuation of patriarchy. Womens strategies help elevate their position in their families, such as attention to household tasks, producing children, and doing handicraft work for their well-being. These conditions are usually seen as evidence of womens subordination, but these are also strategies for survival where accommodation to patriarchy wins them approval. The book concludes that womens life-long struggle is, in fact, a technique of negotiating with patriarchy. In so doing, they internalize the culture that rests on their subordination and reproduce it in older age in exercising power by oppressing other junior women. Dr. Nadia Agha is Associate Professor in Sociology at Shah Abdul Latif University, Khairpur, Pakistan. She has a doctorate in Womens Studies from the University of York, England. Her recent work has been published in the Asian Journal of Social Science, Journal of Research in Gender Studies, Health Education and Journal of International Womens Studies.
