Pandemic Fissures

- Covid-19, Dehumanisation, and the Obsolescence of Freedom in India

Bag om Pandemic Fissures

This book analyses India's response to COVID-19, using an intersectional framework which highlights the roles of the central government, regional governments and community organisations, both formal and informal. The volume brings forward the immense potential embedded within collective communitarian formations by exploring themes such as disaster capitalism, municipal socialism, civic capitalism, apocalypse or disaster communism and Marxist Humanism in relation to the management strategies exhibited by the Indian government towards the COVID-19 Pandemic. It underscores the necessity for imagining a scenario where egalitarian and socially-just policies replace the dominance of capitalism. Part of the Academics, Politics and Society in the Post-COVID World series, the book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of sociology, political studies, cultural studies, social anthropology, South Asia studies, pandemic studies, and post-colonial studies.
