Summary:

"Over the past 30 years a remarkable generation of photographers has steadily illuminated a little understood period of contemporary life in Kashmir. Rooted in the everyday of photojournalism ... this stunning body of work has challenged the established images of Kashmir -- as a beautiful landscape sans people; as an innocent paradise; and more recently, as a paradise beset by mindless violence .... The accompanying text by documentary film maker Sanjay Kak draws from conversations with the photographers."--Back cover.
