Building on a trans-disciplinary, feminist project that foregrounds
the bodies of those at the 'sharp end' of various forms of
international activity, such as immigration, development and
warfare, the chapters included in this book cover a variety of
sites, concerns, and hopes. These range from the fraught
geopolitics of marriage and birth in Ladakh, India, to the fate of
detained migrant children in the U.S., and from the human rights
abuses of women and children in Uzbekistan to the body politics of
aid workers in Afghanistan. The collective aim is to expose the
force relations that operate through and upon those bodies, such
that particular subjectivities are enhanced, constrained, and put
to work, and particular corporealities are violated, exploited, and
often abandoned. Oriented around issues of security, population,
territory, and nationalism, these chapters expose the proliferating
bodies of geopolitics, not simply as the bearers of socially
demarcated borders and boundaries, but as vulnerable
corporealities, seeking to negotiate and transform the geopolitics
they both animate and inhabit. This book was originally published
as a special issue of Gender, Place and Culture: A Journal of
Feminist Geography.
