Williams not only challenges received wisdom on religious communal relations in India but also demonstrates the crucial importance of examining the social reproduction of everyday peace. A tour de force.'\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e— Craig Jeffrey, Professor of Development Geography, University of Oxford, UK\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e'Philippa Williams' new book is in the best tradition of interdisciplinary and critical work on peace. Research and theory about peacemaking and peacebuilding has historically shifted from dealing with inter-state war to how peace is configured through everyday social relations. Work on the latter approach is becoming increasingly sophisticated and interdisciplinary. It often draws upon examples now becoming visible because of more sophisticated methodologies and theory, from across the world, and as opposed to the Eurocentric exemplars commonly used in political science. Williams' study pioneers new understandings of the spatial and social production of peace especially in subaltern frameworks such as some of India's Muslim communities.'\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e— Oliver Richmond, Professor of International Relations, Peace \u0026amp; Conflict Studies, University of Manchester, UK\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003ePhilippa Williams (Author)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e9781118837801, Wiley\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePaperback \/ softback, published 9 October 2015\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e248 pages\u003cbr\u003e22.9 x 15.2 x 1.3 cm, 0.318 kg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWinner of the 2016 Julian Minghi Distinguished Book Award of the Political Geography Specialty Group at the AAG\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProviding important insights into political geography, the politics of peace, and South Asian studies, this book explores everyday peace in northern India as it is experienced by the Hindu-Muslim community.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChallenges normative understandings of Hindu-Muslim relations as relentlessly violent and the notion of peace as a romantic endpoint occurring only after violence and political maneuverings\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines the ways in which geographical concepts such as space, place, and scale can inform and problematize understandings of peace\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRedefines the politics of peace, as well as concepts of citizenship, agency, secular politics, and democracy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBased on over 14 months of qualitative and archival research in the city of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, India\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeries Editors’ Preface viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Abbreviations xii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary xiv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Figures xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Scalar Politics of Peace in India 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Making Peace Visible in the Aftermath of Terrorist Attacks 67\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Political life: Lived Secularism and the Possibility of Citizenship 90\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Civic Space: Playing with Peace and Security\/Insecurity 109\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Economic Peace and the Silk Sari Market 138\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Becoming Visible: Citizenship, Everyday Peace and the Limits of Injustice 159\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Conclusions: Questioning Everyday Peace 176\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 191\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 213\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52421374738712,"sku":"9781118837801","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781118837801.jpg?v=1784593255","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/everyday-peace-politics-citizenship-and-muslim-lives-in-india-paperback-softback-9781118837801","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
