408,95 kr. The crisis of liberal democracy in the neoliberal world marked by massive labour flows, migrations, and informal conditions of work has led to the emergence of new forms of claim-making and a new sense of rights even as governments try to garner popular support and legitimacy through strategies termed as populist gestures. Today, populism is integral to the daily discourse of politics and discussions of democracy, governance, and people. Imprints of the Populist Time investigates populism as a historical phenomenon, examining its dynamic nature and role as a set of specific political practices. Lending a postcolonial perspective to the global study of populism, Ranabir Samaddar examines the trajectory that West Bengal politics took following the end of Left Front rule in 2011. Through a fragmented narrative structure that builds on commentaries on contemporary events ,which highlight the recent history of populism in West Bengal, the volume explores how populism works around the crisis of representation in democracy by centring the subaltern and constructing a people ; the problematic figure of the citizen ; popular engagements with the Constitution; the city as a crucial site of contemporary populism; the role of gender in populist governance; and the counter-intuitive economic logic of the populists. The volume studies various modes of populism elections, the language of populist politics, and the rampant illegalism in populist conduct, and asks key questions: Has there ever been any democracy without populism, or any nationalism without its populist articulation? Can we think of the popular and the people without the populist? Is populism a form of subaltern resistance to neoliberal depredations? Scholars and students of Indian politics, political historians, journalists, policy makers, and informed readers will find this volume riveting.

- Interdisciplinary Perspectives
388,95 kr. `Entrepreneurship can result from necessity as well as opportunity, and women entrepreneurs pursue goals beyond economic gains.¿ `There is no gender differential in drivers of business expansion. The small scale of business does not inhibit women-owned micro enterprises from expanding.¿ In Women Entrepreneurship in the Indian Middle Class, Unni, Yadav, Naik and Dutta explore entrepreneurship using a gender and class lens from multidisciplinary perspectives. They examine the evolution of the field and uncover factors impacting women''s participation in entrepreneurship. Defining entrepreneurship broadly to include not just `new economic activity¿ but operations of all economic enterprises, the authors attempt to understand: What motivates women in India to operate enterprises ranging from small and medium to large enterprises?

- Muslim Women and the Politics of Modernity
263,95 kr. Gendering Minorities: Muslim Women and the Politics of Modernity explores the politics of framing Muslim women s identity in India. Against the backdrop of colonial modernity, nationalist movements and post\-Independence dialogues, it provides details of the feminist enterprises that Muslim women in Kerala were involved in at several historical junctures. Examining Muslim women s negotiations with their cultural and religious identities, the author also analyses the exclusion and homogenisation that did not allow them to be viewed as active political agents. Through oral narratives, folk songs, journal entries, little magazines and historical documents, the chapters address the subjectivity of Muslim women in Kerala through their participation in diverse fields such as religion, governance, sufism, and in early twentieth\-century reform movements in Kerala. The author also examines the popular novel Barsa by Khadija Mumtas in the context of discourses on Islam in Kerala, stating that its construction of the Muslim woman as defined only by Islam is problematic. Through her engagement with women and Islam in Kerala, the author presents Muslim women as heterogenous subjects of differently conceived ideas of religion, shaped by different variables of time, region, class, ethnicity and culture.

198,95 kr. The General Elections of 2014 saw a resounding victory for the BJP. Projecting Narendra Modi as a decisive leader, the BJP promised sweeping changes from the Congress-led UPA governments. Its election campaign was built on the planks of sabka vikas (development for all) and freedom from corruption, along with improved governance. So, did the NDA-II government deliver on its promise of development? Or, as Amartya Sen asserted, did India take a 'quantum leap in the wrong direction'? A Quantum Leap in the Wrong Direction? compares the promises made during the run-up to the 2014 elections and the outcomes over the past five years. Each chapter of this book assesses different policies like demonetisation and GST; policies in the sectors of employment, agriculture, banking, and foreign affairs; its initiatives in the areas of health, education, environment, on gender, and for the marginalised sections. It assesses the government's successes in the area of governance and in addressing corruption.
