N2 - This handbook provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and transregional perspective on Kashmir. Conventional Kashmir Studies scholarship has approached the disputed region through a state-centric framework that has foregrounded India as a complex democracy, vibrant yet filled with contradictions, and Pakistan as a military authoritarian state perpetually on the verge of failure. Such statist perspectives have contributed to the structures and ideologies that have maintained the seemingly intractable dispute. It is imperative for scholars of this region to think beyond state-imposed categories and to write against state-manufactured borders and boundary lines that have continually configured and reconfigured this region, precluding the pursuit of collective solidarities and sovereignties. This handbook invites and encourages scholarly conversations across the carceral boundaries-physically, symbolic, and epistemological-that have forcibly fragmented and separated communities over eight decades.
