The Moynihan Institute of International Affairs and the South Asia Center are proud to present SU-Maxwell faculty member, Mona Bahn, along with her contributors, Haley Duschinski, associate professor of anthropology at Ohio University; Deepti Misri, associate professor of women and gender studies at the University of Colorado Boulder, Mohd Tahir Ganie, Ph.D. from Dublin University, and Haris Zargar, doctoral candidate at the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS), Erasmus University
Rotterdam. Together they will be launching their new book the “Routledge Handbook of Critical Kashmir Studies.”

The “Routledge Handbook of Critical Kashmir Studies” presents emerging critical knowledge
frameworks and perspectives that foreground situated histories and resistance practices to
challenge colonial and postcolonial forms of governance and state building. It politicizes
discourses of nationalism, patriotism, democracy and liberalism, and it questions how these
dominant globalist imaginaries and discourses serve institutionalized power, create hegemony,
and normalize domination. In doing so, the handbook situates Critical Kashmir Studies
scholarship within global scholarly conversations on nationalism, sovereignty, indigenous
movements, human rights and international law.

The handbook is organized into the following five parts:
Territories, Homelands, Borders
Militarism, Humanism, Occupation
Memories, Futures, Imaginations
Religion, History, Politics
Armed Conflict, Global War, Transnational Solidarities.

This event was first published on March 10, 2023 and last updated on March 24, 2023.
