Contested Coastlines: Fisherfolk, Nations and Borders in South Asia
Gupta, Charu (University of Delhi)
This ground-breaking book is about the tragic journeys and livelihood insecurities of coastal fisherfolk jailed by India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh for having entered each other’s territorial waters. While reflecting on national anxieties and the deleterious politics of boundaries, it reveals how these fisherfolk create alternative maps and a new world of ‘debordering’.
