Everyday Occupations Experiencing Militarism in South Asia and the Middle East

"Colonial-style occupations, counter-insurgencies and militarized zones scar the face of much of South Asia and the Middle East. But what specific forms does such everyday violence assume in the postcolonial reality of sovereign nation-states? This indispensable volume offers some brilliant and disturbing answers."-Pankaj Mishra, author of From the Ruins of Empire "The authors' in-depth local analyses, together with an awareness of cross-regional echoes and resonances of cultures of occupation, are inspiring. The reader is drawn immediately into the reality of a globalizing popular culture of life under occupation."-Alex Pillen, University College, London
