In Adivasis and the State, Alf Gunvald Nilsen presents a major
study of how subalternity is both constituted and contested through
state-society relations in the Bhil heartland of western India. The
book unravels the historical processes that subordinated Bhil
Adivasi communities to the everyday tyranny of the state and
investigates how social movements have mobilised to reclaim
citizenship. In doing so, the book also reveals how collective
action from below transform the meanings of governmental
categories, legal frameworks, and universalising vocabularies of
democracy. At the core of the book lies a concern with
understanding the dialectics of power and resistance that give form
and direction to the political economy of democracy and development
in contemporary India. Towards this end, Adivasis and the State
contributes a sustained and nuanced Gramscian analysis of hegemony
in order to interrogate the possibilities and limits of subaltern
political engagement with state structures.
