Gendering Peace in Violent Peripheries: Marginality, Masculinity, and Feminist Agency

Gendering Peace in Violent Peripheries: Marginality, Masculinity, and Feminist Agency ASIAN ETHNICITY BOOK REVIEW Gendering Peace in Violent Peripheries: Marginality, Masculinity, and Feminist Agency, by Uddipana Goswami, New York, Routledge, 2023, 176 pp., $177.84, ISBN 978-1-003-26676-1 For the past many decades, India’s northeast comprised of eight states has been considered as a hub of ethnic insurgencies and armed struggles. Many critical scholarships on ethnic insurgencies have intrinsically been produced over a period of time. One such scholarship is the book under review, in which the author aims to explore ‘how relationships of power – and hegemonies of masculinity, in particular – engage and negotiate with each other, collide with and co-opt each other, and finally mutate and regenerate in the course of political conflicts’ (p.1). Looking through a very gendered lens, the author argues for taking a gendered look at both concurrent vertical confrontations between sub- and ethno-nationalist organisa- tions and the State, as well as parallel conflicts between these groups. She also attempts to navigate through the intersections of patriarchal predominance, ethnic fragmentations and post-colonial confrontations in Assam and examines how marginalized communities often suffered from ethno-nationalistic politics in the post-colonial Asian nation-states.
