The Politics of Social Movements in Contemporary Rural India

Herausgeber: Chandra, Uday; Taghioff, Daniel

Beschreibung

The contributions to this volume explore movements against capital and the state in contemporary rural India. The contributors analyze the politics of subaltern agency, translocal activism, and academic knowledge-production in different, albeit interlinked, locations. The volume puts forth the argument that these are modes of political action that share complex relationships with each other, and may complement each other at times and yet contradict or even cancel out another at other times.
