This book is about the tragic journeys and livelihood
insecurities of coastal fisherfolk jailed by India, Pakistan, Sri
Lanka and Bangladesh for having entered each other 's territorial
waters. While reflecting on national anxieties and the deleterious
politics of boundaries, it reveals how these fisherfolk create
alternative maps and a new world of debordering .
These fishworkers and coastal conflicts have been subjects of
everyday news, but never a subject of serious study. A first of its
kind, the present book breaks new ground by examining the journeys
of these fisherfolk and coastal conflicts in South Asia from
several overlapping but distinct perspectives: declining sea
resources, security and border anxieties, suffering of the
fisherfolk, their ambiguous identities and transnational movements.
The book is also innovative in terms of methodology: it is
fisherfolk-centric as it marginalizes the concerns of the state
from the perspective of security; it questions the very basis of
security and argues for a shift in its perspective.
