Narrating Love and Violence is an ethnographic exploration of
women's stories from the Himalayan valley of Lahaul, in the region
of Himachal Pradesh, India, focusing on how both, love and violence
emerge (or function) at the intersection of gender, tribe, caste,
and the state in India. Himika Bhattacharya privileges the everyday
lives of women marginalized by caste and tribe to show how state
and community discourses about gendered violence serve as proxy for
caste in India, thus not only upholding these social hierarchies,
but also enabling violence. The women in this book tell their
stories through love, articulated as rejection, redefinition and
reproduction of notions of violence and solidarity. Himika
Bhattacharya centers the women's narratives as a site of
knowledge-beyond love and beyond violence. This book shows how
women on the margins of tribe and caste know both, love and
violence, as agents wishing to re-shape discourses of caste, tribe
and community.
