Classifying the Indian Other -- Making oneself a(t) home -- Caught by the Goddess -- The making of a community in court -- Marrying 'up': self-objects, race, and class -- Belonging, suffering, and the body of others -- Conclusion: We-formation in times of 'communal' violence
"In this first anthropological study of Muslim and Hindu lives in urban Myanmar today, Judith Beyer develops the concept of "we-formation" to demonstrate that individuals are always more than members of wider groups. "We-formation" complements her rich political, legal, and historical analysis of "community," a term used by Beyer's interlocutors themselves, even as it reinforces ethno-religious stereotypes and their own minority status. The book also offers an interpretation of the dynamics of resistance to the attempted military coup of 2021"-- Provided by publisher.
