  An innovative collection of essays on events and
dynamics across South Asia, this volume addresses
how violence marks the present in wars of direct and
indirect conquest. Anti-colonial struggles that
achieved independence to form postcolonial nation-states have consolidated themselves through
prodigious violence that defines and disfigures
communities and futures. This book examines the
very borders such brutality enshrines and its intimate
inscriptions upon bodies and memories, examining
the performance of gendered violence through the
spectacular and in everyday life, through wars,
nationalisms and displacements.
Women in and of South Asia offer inspired, gendered
and contested histories of the discontinuous present,
excavating nation-making and its intersections with
projects of militarisation and cultural assertion,
modernisation and globalisation, noting how Gujarat,
post-9/11 mobilisations, and the war on Afghanistan
and Iraq by Empire, signify the rapidity with which
brutal events continue to encompass lives and
cultures globally.ISBN:9788189013370
