- This book is based on in-depth research over more than a decade in west, east and south India. It conceptualises the socially entwined life of land, drawing on history, geography, anthropology, sociology, politics and political economy. Its key theorisation of ‘multi-dimensional land’ is put in conversation with multi-method empirical data drawn from 250+ interviews, documentary research, repeat observation at key sites, and extended stays in the field. The analysis draws attention to the reciprocity of human-nature relationships in the everyday. The book is a unique biography of India from the ground up, focusing on land-making as state-making, market-making and politics-making.
