This is an interdisciplinary volume exploring a range of historical, anthropological and literary ideas and issues in South Asian Borderlands. Going beyond the territorial and geo-political imaginaries of contemporary borderlands in South Asia, chapters in this book engage with the questions of sovereignty, control, policing as well as continuing affections across politically divided borderlands. Modern conceptions of nationhood have created categories of legality and illegality among historically, socially, economically and emotionally connected residents of South Asian borderlands. This volume provides unique insights into the interconnected lives and histories of these borderland spaces and communities.
Theoretically and thematically innovative
Transnational perspective throughout the South Asian region
Goes beyond the idea of borders as territorial and geo-political alone, allowing the reader a new perspective on concepts like history, memory and affect in the context of borderland studies
