In implementing these programmes, state actors challenge farmers’ right to land, instituting spaces of violence in which multiple forms of marginalisation overlap and are reinforced. Mapping how farmers react to these challenges emotionally and practically, the book argues that these land conflicts serve as a starting point for existentially charged disputes in which the survival efforts of farmers clash with the political imaginations and practices of the nation-state. The analysis shows that losing land represents more than being deprived of a material asset: it is nothing less than the extinction of ways of life.Transforming AsiaPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political EconomybisacshHochschulschriftgnd-contentBangladesh, borderlands, nation-sate, indigenous, violence, agency, anthropology of life, land dispossession.POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Economy.Hölzle Éva Rozáliaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1253739DE-B1597DE-B1597VerlagkostenfreiVolltextLangzeitarchivierung NationalbibliothekkostenfreiVolltextBOOK996487161903316Land, Life, and Emotional Landscapes at the Margins of Bangladesh2907266UNISA
