Peer grew up in Kashmir during the insurgency of the 1990s — the most militarized region on earth per capita, a conflict that has killed tens of thousands and displaced hundreds of thousands and that the Indian and Pakistani governments have kept frozen for decades. He left to study journalism, then went back to report. This memoir is the dispatch from inside a Kashmiri childhood — the checkpoints, the disappearances, the torture, the specific texture of growing up in an occupied territory that both sides claim and neither side acknowledges the people of. The most important Kashmir book in English.
