People's Car

Industrial India and the Riddles of Populism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

People's Car studies divergent populist responses to land acquisition for industries in rural India. It contends that landownership enables small landowners to aspire and look forward to social mobility in the non-farm sector, which are contingent upon industrialization. The protests against land acquisition, thus, have contradictory tendencies.
