Beskrivning
Beginning in 1989, more than 8,000 men disappeared in Kashmir. These disappearances were publicly denied, leaving mourners to grapple with unrecognized grief. Drawn from ten years of psycho-historical research in Kashmir, Shifa Haq reflects on the bereaved families’ intricate experiences of mourning. Haq expands the psychoanalytic understanding of loss and argues for a mourning that includes porous affective links with the political.

As I write this review, Ukraine is suffering untold devastation from Russian military attack and invasion. The collective trauma is horrific. The bombing is incessant. Millions have become refugees in a matter of weeks. Like many people worldwide who are witnessing these horrors, I seek to have courage in the face of fear, sustain faith, and be an agent of change within the collective. In the course of my own suffering of the current collective trauma, I turned toward Shifa Haq’s In Search of Return: Mourning the Disappearances in Kashmir.... In her writing about the Kashmiri collective trauma, Haq opens the reader to a deeper register of pain, helping us also to bear witness to that previously disavowed trauma. She restores not only our humanity but also our collective ability to foster healing from trauma that, on a spiritual level, affects all of us. Shifa Haq’s book opens windows of faith.
