Politics of the Poor: Negotiating Democracy in Contemporary India - South Asia in the Social Sciences
Roy, Indrajit (University of Oxford)
This book challenges the ongoing debates on poor people's negotiations with democracy. It analyses the varied ways in which the poor participate in a democracy. Based on fieldwork, Roy argues that poor people neither assimilate into the universal values associated with democracy nor maintain their difference vis-à-vis democracy.
