Any attempt to homogenize Kashmiri society or the politico-cultural
discourse on Kashmir is a dangerously flawed exercise. To that end,
the chapters in this book address various aspects of the political,
cultural, and socioeconomic life in Kashmir. These chapters are
interdisciplinary interventions that could potentially bridge
ethnic, religiocultural, and political divides in the region. The
book is divided into three sections: the first section explores
history and memory, offering a critical dialogue between these
phenomena and fiction. The chapters in section two offer a critical
dialogue between history, politics, and gender, analyzing
historical and political discourses to underscore the agential
capacities of Kashmiri women, which are, traditionally, subsumed
within masculinist discourse. The sole chapter in section three
foregrounds the complex relationship between history, trauma, and
poetry. Taken together, this book is a nuanced attempt at giving
readers the opportunity to engage with multiple subjectivities,
historical understandings, and political opinions. It will be of
interest to general readers, scholars, and advanced students of
Literature, Politics, History, Human Geography and Sociology. This
book was originally published as a special issue of the South Asian
Review.
