This volume brings together important and original perspectives
from South Asia on the relationship between violence---an
increasingly important issue in multicultural societies---and the
process of othering. The contributors state that societies create
'others' through deliberate acts of selection over a period of
time. The objective of the process of othering is to deny rights
and privileges that one sets for one's own group. This volume
affirms that central to the understanding of violence in any
society is the understanding of othering processes. Violence and
nonviolence are influenced by the nature of othering processes as
well as the kinds of others in a society. Groups engaged in mutual
othering are also the ones that are often involved in violent
relationships. Renowned scholars from diverse fields provide
multidisciplinary perspectives on violence and othering, discussing
the concepts of violence and nonviolence in multicultural
societies, communal harmony, constructions of the other, truth
commissions, state censorship of 'sensitive' issues, fundamentalism
and secularism in multifaith societies, and specific cases from
recent violence-prone areas. This volume focuses on the South
Asian, and more specifically, the Indian context, but is relevant
for researchers seeking to understand these issues anywhere in the
world.
