Drawing on two years of ethnographic research in the north-eastern
borderlands of Bangladesh, this book focuses on the everyday
struggles of indigenous farmers threatened with losing their land
due to such state programmes as the realignment of the national
border, ecotourism, social forestry and the establishment of a
military cantonment. In implementing these programmes, state actors
challenge farmers' right to land, instituting spaces of violence in
which multiple forms of marginalisation overlap and are reinforced.
Mapping how farmers react to these challenges emotionally and
practically, the book argues that these land conflicts serve as a
starting point for existentially charged disputes in which the
survival efforts of farmers clash with the political imaginations
and practices of the nation-state. The analysis shows that losing
land represents more than being deprived of a material asset: it is
nothing less than the extinction of ways of life.
