Drawing on case studies of the Communist Party of India (Marxist)
in West Bengal and Shramik Sangathana in Maharashtra, this
ground-breaking new work examines Indian women's political
activism. Investigating institutional change at the state level and
protest at the village level, Amrita Basu traces the paths of two
kinds of political activism among these women. With insights
gleaned from extensive interviews with activists, government
officials, and ordinary men and women, she finds that militancy has
been fueled by pronounced sexual and class cleavages combined with
potentially rancorous ethnic division. Thorough in its fieldwork,
incisive in its political analysis, Two Faces of Protest offers a
richly textured and sensitive view of women's political activism in
the Third World. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived
program, which commemorates University of California Press's
mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them
voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893,
Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship
accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title
was originally published in 1992.
