DESCRIPTION:The centrality of individual responsibility in South Asian and
  Islamic conceptions of justice is in some tension with the importance of 
 the community in these traditions. How justice is operationalized in speci
 fic contexts allows an insight into the ways in which this tension plays o
 ut and the range of possibilities it allows. Focusing on the practice of j
 irga or community justice in the tribal areas of Pakistan I build upon ant
 hropological research and oral histories to work through specific ideas ab
 out the individual and the community that structure these practices. In th
 e process\, I also make a methodological argument about the ways in which 
 intellectual historians approach the study of ideas. \n\nHumeira Iqtidar i
 s Professor of Politics in King's College London. Her research bring toget
 her postcolonial theory\, critical political theory and Islamic thought wi
 th a focus on modern South Asia. Thematically\, her research has been conc
 erned with questions of justice and tolerance\, the place of religion in c
 ontemporary political imagination\, the politics of knowledge\, and the le
 gacies of colonialism. Methodologically\, she has argued for greater inter
 disciplinary and cross disciplinary research. She has two books in product
 ion at the moment: a volume on Maududi's text Al Jihad fil Islam with the 
 Cambridge Texts in History of Political Thought series\, and a monograph t
 itled Justice Beyond Rights: Haqq\, Critical Theory and the Global South\,
  also with Cambridge University Press.
