Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"Sanderien Verstappen’s wonderful new book New Lives in Anand tells us that the story of Gujarati Muslims does not end with violence and displacement...[T]he book shows us how new lives and connections are made by communities who have deep ties to a region and a way of life that cannot be reduced to the word 'Muslim.'"

-- Moyukh Chatterjee * The Wire *

"Verstappen...holds herself accountable to the often-contradictory stories that her interlocutors tell about their relationship to communal violence. The threat of violence is still present as a binding force, but processes of social change are made livable by a new aesthetics of mobility and connectedness."

-- Nikita Simpson * Focaal: Journal of Global and Historical Anthropology *

"The book is instrumental in charting a new paradigm to theorize segregated Muslim spaces and Muslim middle-class formations."

* South Asia: Journal of South Asian Studies *
