Kashmiri Life Narratives takes as its central focus writings --
memoirs, non-fictional and fictional Bildungsromane -- published
circa 2008 by Kashmiris/Indians living in the Valley of Kashmir,
India or in the diaspora. It offers a new perspective on these
works by analyzing them within the framework of human rights
discourse and advocacy. Literature has been an important medium for
promoting the rights of marginalized Kashmiri subjects within
Indian-occupied Kashmir, successfully putting Kashmir back on the
global map and shifting discussion about Kashmir from the political
board rooms to the international English-language book market. In
discussing human rights advocacy through literature, this book also
effects a radical change of perspective by highlighting positive
rights (to enjoy certain things) rather than negative ones (to be
spared certain things). Kashmiri life narratives deploy a language
of pleasure rather than of physical pain to represent the state of
having and losing rights.
