Fisherfolk, Nations and Borders in South Asia

More about the book

Focusing on the experiences of coastal fisherfolk imprisoned by India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh for crossing territorial waters, the book explores their tragic journeys and livelihood insecurities. It delves into the national anxieties and harmful politics surrounding borders, while highlighting how these individuals develop alternative maps and envision a new, borderless world. Through their stories, the narrative sheds light on the broader implications of territorial disputes and the resilience of marginalized communities.
