Anotace knihy

This book is an empirical account of anarchy among one of India's largest indigenous populations-the Gonds-in the face of displacement and a lack of social welfare. Over the past few decades, the government has become entangled with the wildlife conservationists over control of forests, which has stunted social development in the region. Yadav conceives of precarious forms of work and withdrawal from the state as expressions of anarchy by the marginalised people against the authorities whose control over the region has crippled their economy. Remarkably, instead of protesting and expecting state intervention to improve their lives, the Gonds have turned toward the informal economy, where they are not only engaging with flexible forms of work, but also bargaining for higher wages and building wealth. The book provides rich details of the Gonds' working lives-integrating practices of work, labour, and social relations with ideologies of family, debt, and dignity in the lives of poor in the global south. It shows the strength that people must acquire when a welfare state fails, and how they maintain their dignity in the process.
