Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"A distinctive and imaginative account of the peculiar and often mystified enclaves or ‘fragmented territories’ on the border between India and Bangladesh. . . . Cons offers a rich and nuanced ethnography of multiple dimensions of everyday struggles, contestations, and opportunities in Dahagram. . . . Sensitive Space opens new conceptual avenues for analyses on the Indo-Bangladeshi border as well as border studies more generally."

-- Prithvi Hirani * Antipode: A Radical Journal of Geography *

"Cons . . . allows his rich ethnographic material to reveal the complexities of postcolonial sovereignty, insecurity, and precarity. The result is a highly readable, theoretically acute, and sharply insightful work."

-- Sankaran Krishna * Journal of Asian Studies *
