Gyanendra Pandey is Asa Griggs Candler Professor of History at Emory University; a founder member of "Subaltern Studies"; and author of The Construction of Communalism in Colonial North India (1990) and Remembering Partition: Violence, Nationalism and History in India (2001) among other books.
Von der hinteren Coverseite
Much has been written about the “extraordinary” violence of recent history, its brutality, and the impossibility of describing it. Routine Violence focuses on the violence of much more routine political practices—the drawing up of political categories and the writing of national histories.
The book takes its material from the history of twentieth-century India: the land of Gandhi and of effective nonviolent resistance to British colonial rule. It asks questions about how particular histories are claimed as the “real” histories of a nation; how the “sacred” nation, and its (“mainstream”) culture and politics, come to be constructed; and how a certain inducement to violence, and a collective amnesia regarding that violence, follow from all of this.
This is the first book to engage in a sustained investigation of the routine political violence of our times.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Routine violence is violence that has sunk into a zone of indiscernibility between the unnoted and the legitimate. It must be described in detail to be lifted out of that zone. And those who do so must bring a spirituality to description that contests violence all the way down. In this superb history of routine violence in twentieth-century India, Gyan Pandey does just that.' --William E. Connolly, Johns Hopkins University'This is a remarkably fine set of essays on the forms and conditions of violence in modern India by a distinguished historian.an impressive work of historical scholarship, excellently written and thought-provoking.' --Talal Asad, The Graduate Center, City University of New York.
