Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
This book engages with the discourses on human rights as they apply to the transgender or the hijra community in India, capturing not only their larger struggle for legal rights and dignity but also their personal hardships. It situates the issues and concerns of the Indian transgender community within a global context to explore the extent of social justice in independent India.
By narrating stories of individuals, local movements and activities of groups like the Association of Transgender/Hijra in Bengal (ATHB) and others, the book gives context to the changes that globalisation has brought to the narrative around transgenders in India. This shift has challenged their marginalisation and has led to stories, films and queer individuals like Chapal Bhaduri ? the jatra rani ? and the iconic filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh to flourish and become relevant. This book brings these literatures and personal stories to the fore, allowing readers to perceive the changes and the challenges that Indian society faces when it comes to ensuring the rights for transgender people.
This volume will be of interest to scholars of gender studies, queer studies, literature and social work along with readers who want to engage with the transgender movement and community in India.
"Lopamudra Sengupta's book is an important contribution to the contemporary interest on the role of globalization on transgender communities."?Serena Nanda, author of Neither Man nor Woman: the Hijras of India (2nd edition)
"This is a timely and important book as India finds itself, perhaps rather unwillingly, drawn into discussions of gender and sexuality like never before. This book will doubtless incite discussion and comment towards more engagements with issues of gender and sexual diversity that have now been recognised as crucial to the socio-economic health of a country."?Niladri R. Chatterjee, Professor, Dept. of English, University of Kalyani
