Flows and Frictions in Trans-Himalayan Spaces traces movements and
connections in a region known for its formidable obstacles to
mobility. Eight original essays and a conceptual introduction
engage with questions of networks and interconnection between
people across a bordered landscape. Mobility among the extremely
varied ecologies of south-western China, Myanmar and north-eastern
India, with their rugged terrain, high mountains, monsoon-fed
rivers and marshy lowlands, is certainly subject to friction. But
today, harsh political realities have created hard borders and
fractured this trans-Himalayan terrain. However, the closely
researched chapters in this book demonstrate that these borders
have not prevented an abundance of movements, connections and
flows. Mobility has always coexisted with friction here, but this
coexistence has been unsettled, giving this space its historical
shape and its contemporary dynamism. Introducing the concept of the
'corridor' as an analytical framework, this collection investigates
mobility and flows in this unique socio-political landscape.
