Abstract:
Policing everyday life on a border -- Militarism and everyday peace: gender, labor, and policing across "civil-military" terrains -- Policing Muslim marriage: the specter of the "Bengali" wife -- Blood and water: the "Bengali" wife and close-kin marriage among Muslims -- The work of belonging: citizenship and social capital across the Thar desert.
Abstract:
"Based on ethnographic research in the western Indian borderland region of Kutch, this book is an anthropological inquiry into forms of policing. It suggests that policing must be considered beyond its institutional and militarized sites, as an integral aspect of the family and the ways in which kinship is forged" --
