Indigenist mobilization : confronting electoral communism and precarious livelihoods in post-reform Kerala. / Luisa Steur. - New York : Orient Black Swan , 2017. - x, 289 p. : 24cm.
In Kerala, political activists with a background in Communism are now instead asserting political demands on the basis of indigenous identity. Why did a notion of indigenous belonging come to replace the discourse of class in subaltern struggles? Indigenist Mobilization answers this question through a detailed ethnographic study of the dynamics between the Communist party and indigenist activists, and the subtle ways in which global capitalist restructuring leads to a resonance of indigenist visions in the changing everyday working lives of subaltern groups in Kerala. http://www.berghahnbooks.com/title/SteurIndigenist
