Intimate Geopolitics begins with a love story set in the Himalayan
region of Ladakh, in India's Jammu and Kashmir State, but this is
also a story about territory, and the ways that love, marriage, and
young people are caught up in contemporary global processes. In
Ladakh, children grow up to adopt a religious identity in part to
be counted in the census, and to vote in elections. Religion,
population, and voting blocs are implicitly tied to territorial
sovereignty and marriage across religious boundaries becomes a
geopolitical problem in an area that seeks to define insiders and
outsiders in relation to borders and national identity. This book
populates territory, a conventionally abstract rendering of space,
with the stories of those who live through territorial struggle at
marriage and birth ceremonies, in the kitchen and in the bazaar, in
heartbreak and in joy. Intimate Geopolitics argues for the
incorporation of the role of time - temporality - into our
understanding of territory.
