Composing Violence by Moyukh Chatterjee
Examining the 2002 pogrom in which Hindu mobs attached Muslims in the west Indian state of Gujuarat, Moyukh Chatterjee examines how political violence against minorities catalyzes radical changes in law, public culture, and power."It is through scholarship of the kind offered by Composing Violence that we can grapple with questions of mass violence, impunity and justice after violence in South Asia, and beyond, in any meaningful way"
-- Chulani Kodikara * Social and Legal Studies *"Composing Violence provides us with a necessary punch in the stomach. Its urgency lies in the way in which it forces us to look at, and begin to think anew with, what we know well but persist in overlooking: that violence against (religious) minorities is not exceptional or deviant, but mainstream." -- Vera Lazzaretti * Religion and Society *
Moyukh Chatterjee is a Lecturer in the Department of Social Anthropology in the University of Edinburgh.
