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