Politics from Below
Essays on Subalternity and Resistance in India
Gebonden Engels 2023 1e druk 9781032666778Samenvatting
This book is a collection of essays that question how subalternity is constituted and contested in Indian society. It draws on Antonio Gramsci's work to investigate the dynamics of hegemony, subalternity and resistance in India, both past and present.
Drawing on the author's extensive fieldwork, Politics from Below presents detailed ethnographic studies of the movement against dam building in the Narmada Valley and Adivasi mobilization to democratize the local state in western India. The book will be relevant to students and scholars with an interest in social movements and the political economy of development and democracy in India, as well as to activists and engaged members of the public more generally.
