Reviews

'A valuable addition to the literature on different forms of dispossession of Adivasis -- where even supposedly inclusive policies lead to dispossession of languages and cultures.' Dev Nathan, Visiting Professor, Institute for Human Development, New Delhi, India; Coordinator, GPN Studies, New Delhi, India; and Visiting Research Fellow, Center on Globalization, Governance and Competitiveness, Duke University, USA 'Indian Adivisis have been victim of imperial as well as internal colonialism in post-Independent India, with them losing their resources for livelihood and cultural moorings and experiencing exclusion even from welfare programmes. The volume with an interdisciplinary perspective highlights multiple issues that causes their exclusion.' Ghanshyam Shah, Former National Fellow, Indian Council of Social Science Research, New Delhi, India
