In this system, human rights abuses are perpetrated behind the closed doors of secret detention facilities while death squads roam the streets with impunity.Jallad sets out to close a gap in the literature on human rights in South Asia, in which sociopolitical analysis of state terror is hard to come by. Khalil unveils the bloody logic of domination and repression that lies at the very core of statecraft in South Asia.
