Description
Arundhati Roy's searing frontline exposé reveals the brutal repression in India, as she draws on her unprecedented access to a little-known rebel movement. In this work of nonfiction, Roy chronicles her months spent living with the rebel guerillas in the forests, documenting their local struggles and addressing the larger question of global capitalism's tolerance for societies outside its control.
Through her account, Roy sheds light on a vicious total war waged by the Indian government against its own citizens, under the guise of battling Maoist guerillas. This ongoing battle is fueled by corporations eager to exploit rare minerals buried in tribal lands, and remains undocumented by a weak domestic press.
A riveting and necessary book by one of India's most distinctive voices, this account offers a unique perspective on the unseen front lines of this conflict.
