"A stunning presentation of narrative ethnography, achieving the remarkable feat of forcing the reader to enter into the world—and the world view—of those whom most of us would regard as terrorists."—Mark Juergensmeyer, UCSB
Cynthia Keppley Mahmood is Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Maine, Orono.
"Highly recommended."
*Library Journal*
"Mahmood brilliantly interweaves Sikh militants' narratives-their
aspirations, fears, beliefs, and actions-with an understanding of
India's Khalistan movement in particular and of contemporary
political conflict in general. . . . Fighting for Faith and Nation
provides the theoretical and methodological tools for understanding
the politics of violence and militancy and the troubled concepts of
nation and freedom. More important, it provides a sensitive and
responsible approach to difficult and contentious issues-to
matters, literally, of life and death."

The issues this book raises cannot be ignored."
