Enclaves along the India-Bangladesh border have posed conceptual
and pragmatic challenges to both states since Partition in 1947.
These pieces of India inside of Bangladesh, and vice versa, are
spaces in which national security, belonging, and control are shown
in sharp relief. Through ethnographic and historical analysis,
Jason Cons argues that these spaces are key locations for
rethinking the production of territory in South Asia today.
Sensitive Space examines the ways that these areas mark a range of
anxieties over territory, land, and national survival and lead us
to consider why certain places emerge as contentious, and often
violent, spaces at the margins of nation and state. Offering
lessons for the study of enclaves, lines of control, restricted
areas, gray spaces, and other geographic anomalies, Sensitive Space
develops frameworks for understanding the persistent confusions of
land, community, and belonging in border zones. It further provides
ways to think past the categories of sovereignty and identity to
reimagine territory in South Asia and beyond.
