Kashmir has been in geopolitical limbo since the partition of the British Raj in 1947. A region of stunning natural beauty and diverse ethnicities and cultures, its people have experienced military tension, violence, state oppression, and terrorism, for decades. This book provides an introduction to Kashmir and explores the reasons for the tensions within the region itself as well as the wider-reaching implications of those tensions. The international relations between India, Pakistan and China, are crucial to understanding this conflict, as are the relationships between those nations and the wider world. The changing nature of global politics continues to affect Kashmir and this book highlights the many reasons that peace in the region needs to be seen as a priority by global leaders. In exploring the practice of transitional justice in Timor-Leste (formerly East Timor) and in South Africa, Schuurmans presents potential routes to peace in Kashmir, and azaadi for its people.
Outer Origin examines the individual, social, and spiritual implications of ectogenesis, also known as artificial womb technology. Formerly considered the topic of science fiction, such devices are currently being developed and will soon be a medical reality. This book offers readers information on the status of this technology and considers the ways in which it may one day fully replace human gestation. Ectogenesis has previously been assessed with the future child in mind, but this book, instead, envisions what it might mean for women. It explores the value of pregnancy and childbirth in the twenty-first century and questions the notion that artificial wombs will lead to full equality of the sexes. Outer Origin seeks to elevate the maternal experience by reflecting on the meaning of reproductive technology in our lives. People everywhere must ponder the significance of what has heretofore been their most common link—shared natality and birth. If not, Homo sapiens will enter a deep dive into the unknown—that of not being of woman born.
