Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the intersection of culture and politics, this book analyzes democracy, nationalism, and political violence in South Asia, beginning with a chaotic election campaign in Sri Lanka in the 1980s. It explores rural policing in north India and housing issues in Delhi, addressing themes of secularism and pluralism. The narrative culminates with the efforts of feminist peace activists in Sri Lanka to foster shared humanity post-conflict. This study emphasizes anthropology's vital role in comprehending global political divisions, especially since 9/11.
