Abstract

Nyla Khan’s Islam, Women, and Violence in Kashmir: Between India and Pakistan (2010) is extremely significant and timely for two reasons: first, she traces the political and cultural history of Kashmir’s demand for self-determination through the category of “Kashimiriyat,†which draws on the vibrant diversity of Kashmir’s cultural and political heritage, and second, her project is feminist, drawing on the intersectionality of gender, sexuality, religious identity, and ethnicity in discussing the varied forms of resistance in Kashmir.
