It offers a new perspective on these works by analyzing them within the framework of human rights discourse and advocacy. Literature has been an important medium for promoting the rights of marginalized Kashmiri subjects within Indian-occupied Kashmir, successfully putting Kashmir back on the global map and shifting discussion about Kashmir from the political board rooms to the international English-language book market. In discussing human rights advocacy through literature, this book also effects a radical change of perspective by highlighting positive rights (to enjoy certain things) rather than negative ones (to be spared certain things). Kashmiri life narratives deploy a language of pleasure rather than of physical pain to represent the state of having and losing rights.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51813906907424,"sku":"NEW0367428008","price":300.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81LmcdPTr0L.jpg?v=1781040704","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/kashmiri-life-narratives-human-rights-pleasure-and-the-local-cosmopolitan-routledge-interdisciplinary-perspectives-on-literature-0367428008","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
