This book analyses the impact that prolonged socio-political
conflict in India has had on political and social spaces for women.
Focusing in particular on Assam in the North East of India, it
looks at how the conflict can be restricting, and yet can also have
the potential to expand these spaces for women owing to the
collapsing of boundaries of gender roles, thereby creating niche
areas that may be leveraged for socio-political transformation.
Based on empirical material collected from in-depth interviews with
individuals on both sides of the conflict, the book locates the
analysis in both a legal and political context. It examines the
causes, dynamics and impact of the ethno-political conflicts in
Assam, as well as the efficacy and outcomes of 'capacity building'
programmes aimed at rehabilitating the surrendered militants as
well as assisting affected women. The book goes on to look at the
role played by civil society, especially the Mahila Shanti Sena
(Women Peace Corp), towards conflict transformation. It highlights
the preventive, mitigative and adaptive measures taken by the women
and their role as agents of peace in the volatile zones of North
East India. Analysing the changing role of women in conflict
situations, as well as the legal measures and regulatory mechanisms
in place for women in vulnerable pockets of India, this book is a
useful contribution to Gender Studies, Peace and Conflict Studies,
and South Asian Politics.
