| Summary |
In Kerala, political activists with a background in Communism are now instead asserting political demands on the basis of Indigenous identity. Why did a notion of Indigenous belonging come to replace the discourse of class in subaltern struggles' Indigenist Mobilization answers this question through a detailed ethnographic study of the dynamics between the Communist party and Indigenist activists, and the subtle ways in which global capitalist restructuring leads to a resonance of Indigenist visions in the changing everyday working lives of subaltern groups in Kerala. |
