Kashmir:

"Rejecting traditional assumptions that the rivalry over Kashmir is ingrained in the national identities of India and Pakistan, the contributors to this volume offer ways and means to move the dispute toward settlement and analyze the role of state and nonstate actors, including women, in this process. Most importantly, the contributors document the political, economic, and religious transformations taking place in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir (IJK) and Pakistan-administered Azad (Independent) Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) that represent new hopes for peace.... Highly recommended. General readers, lower-division undergraduates through practitioners."—Choice
