About the Book
Though often portrayed as lacking agency, women in South Asia, in considerable numbers, participate actively in the insurgencies that plague the region—taking up arms alongside men or facilitating recruitment and operations. What compels them to do so? And what roles do they play? Ayesha Ray answers these questions by exploring women’s involvement in violent revolutionary and Islamist movements across Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

Editorial Reviews
“In this detailed, nuanced, and comprehensive study, Anneeth Kaur Hundle develops a complicated picture of South Asian presence, inclusion, and exclusion in contemporary Uganda that grapples not only with the 1972 expulsion but its articulation through different regimes and global economic shifts in capitalism. She offers a rare look at race and racialization in Africa and the Indian Ocean region that goes beyond colonialism or South Africa. In this way, Hundle paves a new path to think about race, imperialism, and capitalism.”
—Bettina Ng'weno, author of
Turf Wars: Territory and Citizenship in the Contemporary State
“In
Insecurities of Expulsion
, Anneeth Kaur Hundle skillfully demonstrates how the 1972 Asian expulsion event in Uganda lingers discursively, affectively, and ideologically across various publics, reproducing racialized diasporic subjectivities, nativist nationalisms, and Eurocentric narratives about the 'illiberal' African state. This is pathbreaking work that reconfigures anthropology away from its enduring area studies preoccupations and toward a transnational and imperial accounting.”
—Ethiraj Gabriel Dattatreyan, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, New York University
