Recenzii
"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."

Notă biografică
Gautam Pingali completed his doctoral dissertation at the University of Technology Sydney, with a specific focus on the impact of mining on indigenous communities. He grew up in Jharkhand, India and frequently witnessed first-hand indigenous protests resulting in city-wide 'bandhs' or strikes. As a social researcher, Gautam sought to develop a deeper understanding of the indigenous resistance movement in Jharkhand. His research findings shed light on the nature and dynamics of power relations at play between the state, corporations, and indigenous communities in Jharkhand. He currently works at Supply Nation in Sydney, Australia as a Program and Evaluation Manager focused on empowering indigenous businesses.
Descriere
The book provides a first-hand account of land conflict and power relations in one of the most resource-rich states in India — Jharkhand. Through the eyes of the state, corporate, and Adivasi actors, it reveals how conflict over land in Jharkhand is firmly embedded in the ideological foundations of the key actors in the region.
