Beschreibung
""In the Shadows of the State" is a fine and unusual study of indigenous politics, culture, and activism, which will be of interest to students of India as well as of the cultural politics of indigeneity elsewhere in the world. Alpa Shah provides a robust and non-sentimental ethnography of the realities and contradictions of tribal life, and a powerful critique of the practices of the state, NGOs, and the highly vocal middle-class activists who promote preservation of both natural resources and pristine tribal life."--Thomas Blom Hansen, co-editor of "States of Imagination: Ethnographic Explorations of the Postcolonial State"
