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. 606 $aPolitical economy$2bicssc 606 $aSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnography$2bicssc 606 $aFood & society$2bicssc 610 $aBangladesh, borderlands, nation-sate, indigenous, violence, agency, anthropology of life, land dispossession 615 7$aPolitical economy 615 7$aSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnography 615 7$aFood & society 700 $aHölzle$b Éva Rozália$4auth$01253739 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910585981103321 996 $aLand, Life, and Emotional Landscapes at the Margins of Bangladesh$92907266 997 $aUNINA
