"This is a timely and significant book that will add both to the literature and to the reading public's larger understanding of contemporary events. It tackles core issues of humanity and ethics with honest and sophisticated scholarship. Women and the Contested State will speak to readers across the social sciences and South/SouthEast Asia studies, as well as providing cutting edge resources to NGOs, journalists, and development specialists." —Carolyn Nordstrom, University of Notre Dame"The contributors to Women and the Contested State make an original contribution to the field in addressing the link between the sensitive subjects of religion and violence, and of this link as it relates to the question of women's agency in particular Asian nation-states. The issues addressed in this volume will be of interest to scholars in women's or feminist studies, theorists of nationalism, and analysts of political change that is linked to violence and religion." —Sonita Sarker, Macalester College"Focuses on women in Bangladesh, Burma, Sri Lanka, and the Indian region of Kashmir." —The Chronicle of Higher Education
