Body of victim, body of warrior : refugee families and the making of Kashmiri jihadists
Cabeiri deBergh Robinson, University of California Press (Publisher)
Looks at the creation of contemporary Muslim jihadists. Interweaving historical and ethnographic evidence, this book explains how refuge-seeking has become a socially and politically debased practice in the Kashmir region and why this devaluation has turned refugee men into potential militants.
