This book forwards Assam (and Northeast India) as a specific
location for studying operations of gendered power in multi-ethnic,
conflict-habituated geopolitical peripheries globally. In the
shifting and relational margins of such peripheral societies, power
and agency are constantly negotiated and in flux. Notions of
masculinity are redefined in an interlaced environment of
militarization, hyper-masculinization, and gendered violence. These
interconnections inform victimhood and agency among the most
vulnerable marginalized constituencies - namely, women and
migrants. By centering the marginalized in its inquiry, the book
analyzes obstacles to achieving positive, organic peace based on
cooperation and mutual healing. The tools used to perpetuate an
endless cycle of violence that makes conflict a habit - a way of
life - are identified in order to enable resistance against them
from within the margins. Such resistance must be based on
reflexivity and strategic, cautious radicalism. This involves
critically interrogating the inherent connections between
engendered pasts and feminist futures, local changes and global
contexts, as well as between small, incremental changes and big
shifts impacting entire societies, nations, and global orders. This
book will be of much interest to students of ethnic conflict,
conflict resolution, feminist peace, and Asian/South Asian
politics.
