Inhaltsangabe

Scholarly theorizations of storytelling forms within human rights texts such as novels, human rights reports, testimonies or life narratives, typically focus on representations of physical pain. In contrast, this book shows how Kashmiri life narratives perform human rights advocacy through representations of pleasure and happiness.
