This book weaves a range of microdata from a wide-ranging but coherent set of historical and contemporary sources to build a careful narrative of public spaces and a fresh take on theories of autogestion. Ethnographic material on contemporary Kerala's impeccably grassroots organising stands in contrast to the many studies of Kerala's entrenched regime of rival parties, and insists upon the centrality of the social, the everyday, the experiential and embodied - Professor Caroline Osella, Research Associate, University of Sussex and former Reader in Anthropology at SOAS, London
