Field Notes on Democracy - 2nd Edition by Arundhati Roy (Paperback)

Field Notes on Democracy is a thought-provoking and insightful collection of essays that delve into the dark side of democracy in contemporary India.

With a new introduction by the author discussing the election of India's new prime minister Narendra Modi, this book examines the systematic marginalization of religious and ethnic minorities, the rise of terrorism, and the massive scale of displacement and dispossession of the poor by predatory corporations.

Through her gorgeous prose and pitch-perfect analysis, Roy sheds light on the fault-lines that threaten to destroy India's precarious democracy and send shockwaves through the region and beyond.

Whether you are a fan of Roy's work or simply looking for a thoughtful and well-researched exploration of contemporary India, Field Notes on Democracy is an essential read.
