- This book blends a mixed-method approach embracing quantitative data and ethnographic observations in rural India to reflect on poor people’s diverse negotiations with democracy. It engaged with diverse literatures on poverty and inequality, democracy and citizenship, social movements and everyday politics. This 521-page book advances the concept of ‘political space’ to explain the factors that enable and constrain poor people’s negotiations. The political thoughts and practices entailed in such negotiations reveal the entanglements between universal values and particularistic ideas. This research was funded by the ESRC/ EqUIP and AHRC.
