Description:
Intimate Geopolitics is the story of love and territory in the Himalayan region of Ladakh, in India's Jammu and Kashmir State. This book takes on global processes of "demographic fever dreams," which animate political movements, by understanding them in a deeply rooted local context and through the lives of ordinary people making decisions about love, babies, and the future.
Review Quotes: "Intimate Geopolitics is a timely and important intervention in Himalayan studies....[An] engaging and ethnographically rich narrative, which treats a geopolitically loaded question with a great deal of sensitivity and understanding."-- "Journal of Asian Studies"
