In 2002 widespread communal violence tore apart towns and villages
in rural parts of Gujarat, India. In the aftermath, many Muslims
living in Hindu-majority villages sought safety in the small town
of Anand. Following such dramatic displacement, the town emerged as
a site of opportunity and hope. For its residents and transnational
visitors, Anand’s Muslim area is not just a site of
marginalization; it has become an important focal point and
regional center from which they can participate in the wider
community of Gujarat and reimagine society in more inclusive terms.
This compelling ethnography shows how in Anand the experience of
residential segregation led not to estrangement or closure but to
distinctive forms of mobility and exchange that embed Muslim
residents in a variety of social networks. New Lives in Anand moves
beyond established notions of ghettoization to foreground the
places, practices, and narratives that are significant to the
people of Anand. New Lives in Anand is available in an open access
edition through the Sustainable History Monograph Pilot, thanks to
the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Open
access edition: DOI 10.6069/9780295749655
