Reviews / Votes
"This book focuses on the most pertinent issues in Jharkhand to analyse ongoing contests for control over and access to minerals, land, water and forests, between the Adivasis, corporates and the state. It is therefore essential reading for those interested in debates over ideas and practices of development in India and beyond."- Amit Prakash, Centre for the Study of Law and Governance, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India
"This book is a fascinating and poignant account of the encounter between a modernist postcolonial state and the Adivasi population of Jharkhand. It explores the crises that occur when development models, depending on resource extraction and favoured by both the state and corporations, ignore Adivasi rights and connections to their lands and forests. While Adivasis are protected by their special status of 'Scheduled Tribes' in the Indian constitution, paradoxically, this identification also constructs them as backward and ripe for modernist intervention, leading to various forms of overt and creative resistance."

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
