Garrisoned Minds,\u003cbr\u003e\n which brings together insights and analysis from some of the major \u003cbr\u003e\nconflict zones of South Asia, is a welcome and valuable corrective, one \u003cbr\u003e\nwhich must be read by both policy-makers and the public.'- Siddharth Varadarajan, Founding Editor of thewire.inMilitarisation\u003cbr\u003e\n and violence as a response to conflict are now part of the global \u003cbr\u003e\nsocial order. In this book, twelve journalists explore the impact of \u003cbr\u003e\nsuch militarisation on the lives of women in four conflict-affected \u003cbr\u003e\nzones of South Asia: Pakistan's frontier provinces which share a border \u003cbr\u003e\nwith Afghanistan; Nepal during and after its decade-long civil war; \u003cbr\u003e\nNortheast India under the shadow of AFSPA; and the Kashmir valley amidst\u003cbr\u003e\n the overwhelming presence of the Indian army.and These \u003cbr\u003e\nessays range from evocative accounts of women's personal lives during \u003cbr\u003e\ncombat in Nepal and while travelling through the changing political \u003cbr\u003e\nlandscape of Manipur, to detailed explorations of the violent \u003cbr\u003e\nrestrictions imposed on specific communities, such as the Hazaras of \u003cbr\u003e\nPakistan, the dancing girls of Swat Valley, or the ostracised widows of \u003cbr\u003e\ncounter-insurgents in Kashmir. They represent the lived realities of a \u003cbr\u003e\ndiverse set of women forced to come to terms with horrific \u003cbr\u003e\ncircumstances, and determined to wage peace.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liberty Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44252390031420,"sku":"9789386050434","price":597.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/garrisoned-minds-9789386050434.jpg?v=1776810301","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/garrisoned-minds","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
