Mehta, Depak
Violence and the quest for justice in South Asia edited by Deepak Mehta and Rahul Roy - India Sage Publications 2018 - 364 p.
A first of its kind, this timely volume provides a series of case studies from South Asia that detail the quest for justice, the links that can be drawn from different countries in the region and the points of contact and divergences in the enunciation and practice of law. A second theme that runs through the book discusses the corrosive and affective power of violence in its ability to forge new solidary groups and communities. This is the first serious attempt by activists and scholars to think of South Asia as a region bound together through war and collective violence.
