Pogrom in Gujarat – Hindu Nationalism and Anti–Muslim Violence in India

Autor Parvis Ghassem–fachand
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 mar 2012

"This book is an intimate and disturbing exploration of the cultural formations around nationalism, vegetarianism, and religious imaginings that have arisen in modern-day Gujarat. Ghassem-Fachandi deploys his deep familiarity with Gujarati culture in what arguably is the most incisive and profound account of communal violence in India to date. His is a new, very distinctive voice in the anthropology of violence."--Thomas Blom Hansen, author of Wages of Violence: Naming and Identity in Postcolonial Bombay

"Pogrom in Gujarat is a very well-written account of a searing episode of violence against Muslims in India. It makes a valuable contribution to the literatures on violence, nationalism, and Indian politics."--Pratap Bhanu Mehta, coeditor of The Oxford Companion to Politics in India
