SUMMARY:Nathan Hill– Wellness
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop welcomes Nathan Hill\, best-selling author of The Nix\, for a reading and signing of Wellness—a poignant and witty novel about marriage\, the often baffling pursuit of health and happiness\, and the stories that bind us together. From the gritty ’90s Chicago art scene to a suburbia of detox diets and home-renovation hysteria\, Wellness reimagines the love story with a healthy dose of insight\, irony\, and heart. \n \n“A hilarious and moving exploration of a modern marriage that astounds in its breadth and intimacy.” —Brit Bennett\, author of The Vanishing Half \nWhen Jack and Elizabeth meet as college students in the ’90s\, the two quickly join forces and hold on tight\, each eager to claim a place in Chicago’s thriving underground art scene with an appreciative kindred spirit. Fast-forward twenty years to married life\, and alongside the challenges of parenting\, they encounter cults disguised as mindfulness support groups\, polyamorous would-be suitors\, Facebook wars\, and something called Love Potion Number Nine. \nFor the first time\, Jack and Elizabeth struggle to recognize each other\, and the no-longer-youthful dreamers are forced to face their demons\, from unfulfilled career ambitions to painful childhood memories of their own dysfunctional families. In the process\, Jack and Elizabeth must undertake separate\, personal excavations\, or risk losing the best thing in their lives: each other. \nNathan Hill’s best-selling debut novel\, The Nix\, was named the number one book of 2016 by Entertainment Weekly and one of the year’s best books by The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, NPR\, Slate\, and many others. It was the winner of the Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction from the Los Angeles Times and was published worldwide in more than two dozen languages. A native Iowan\, Hill lives with his wife in Naples\, Florida.

SUMMARY:Hafsa Kanjwal – Colonizing Kashmir: State-building Under Indian Occupation
DESCRIPTION:Cosponsored by the Center for South Asian Studies \nIn this talk\, Dr. Hafsa Kanjwal discusses her new book Colonizing Kashmir: State-Building Under Indian Occupation. The book interrogates how Kashmir was made “integral” to India through a study of the decade long rule (1953-1963) of Bakshi Ghulam Mohammad\, the second Prime Minister of the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Drawing upon a wide array of bureaucratic documents\, propaganda materials\, memoirs\, literary sources\, and oral interviews in English\, Urdu\, and Kashmiri\, Kanjwal examines the intentions\, tensions\, and unintended consequences of Bakshi’s state-building policies in the context of India’s colonial occupation. She reveals how the Kashmir government tailored its policies to integrate Kashmir’s Muslims while also showing how these policies were marked by inter-religious tension\, corruption\, and political repression. Challenging the binaries of colonial and postcolonial\, Kanjwal historicizes India’s occupation of Kashmir through processes of emotional integration\, development\, normalization\, and empowerment to highlight the new hierarchies of power and domination that emerged in the aftermath of decolonization. In doing so\, she urges us to question triumphalist narratives of India’s state-formation\, as well as the sovereignty claims of the modern nation-state. \nHafsa Kanjwal is an assistant professor of South Asian History in the Department of History at Lafayette College in Easton\, Pennsylvania\, where she teaches courses on the history of the modern world\, South Asian history\, and Islam in the Modern World. As a historian of modern Kashmir\, she is the author of Colonizing Kashmir: State-building Under Indian Occupation (Stanford University Press\, 2023)\, which examines how the Indian and Kashmir governments utilized state-building to entrench India’s colonial occupation of Kashmir in the aftermath of Partition.  \nHafsa has written and spoken on her research for a variety of news outlets including The Washington Post\, Al Jazeera English\, and the BBC. She received her Ph.D. in History and Women’s Studies from the University of Michigan and a Bachelors in Regional Studies of the Muslim World from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. \nZoom Registration Link: https://bit.ly/45QVLw0 \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThe Center for Cultural Studies hosts a weekly Wednesday colloquium featuring work by faculty and visitors. We gather at 12:00 PM\, with presentations beginning at 12:15 PM. \nStaff assistance is provided by The Humanities Institute.
