Handbook of Critical Kashmir Studies presents
emerging critical knowledge frameworks and perspectives that foreground
situated histories and resistance practices to challenge colonial and
postcolonial forms of governance and state building. It politicizes
discourses of nationalism, patriotism, democracy, and liberalism, and it
questions how these dominant globalist imaginaries and discourses serve
institutionalized power, create hegemony, and normalize domination. In
doing so, the handbook situates Critical Kashmir Studies scholarship
within global scholarly conversations on nationalism, sovereignty,
indigenous movements, human rights, and international law.
The handbook is organized into the following five parts:
- Territories, Homelands, Borders
- Militarism, Humanism, Occupation
- Memories, Futures, Imaginations
- Religion, History, Politics
- Armed Conflict, Global War, Transnational Solidarities
A
comprehensive reference work documenting and consolidating the growing
Critical Kashmir Studies scholarship, this handbook will be of interest
to scholars of anthropology, political science, cultural studies, legal
and sociolegal studies, sociology, history, critical Indigenous studies,
settler colonial studies, and feminist studies.
