The volume focuses on how 'modernity' has also been a struggle for access to public spaces, and non-institutional spaces like teashops, markets, public roads, temple grounds, reading-rooms and libraries have all been crucial to how political culture was shaped, and how dominant hegemonies-caste, class or capital-have been challenged.

"This book weaves a range of microdata from a wide-ranging but coherent set of historical and contemporary sources to build a careful narrative of public spaces and a fresh take on theories of autogestion. Ethnographic material on contemporary Kerala's impeccably grassroots organising stands in contrast to the many studies of Kerala's entrenched regime of rival parties, and insists upon the centrality of the social, the everyday, the experiential and embodied" - Professor Caroline Osella, Research Associate, University of Sussex and
