Gorgeously wrought . . . pitch-perfect prose. . . . In language of
terrible beauty, she takes India's everyday tragedies and reminds
us to be outraged all over again.--Time Magazine Roy asks whether
our shriveled forms of democracy will be 'the endgame of the human
race'--and shows vividly why this is a prospect not to be lightly
dismissed.--Noam Chomsky Roy is one of the most confident and
original thinkers of our time.--Naomi Klein Now in paperback, with
a new introduction by the author discussing the election of India's
new prime minister Narendra Modi. This series of essays examines
the dark side of democracy in contemporary India. It looks closely
at how religious majoritarianism, cultural nationalism, and
neo-fascism simmer just under the surface of a country that
projects itself as the world's largest democracy. She describes the
systematic marginalization of religious and ethnic minorities, the
rise of terrorism, and the massive scale of displacement and
dispossession of the poor by predatory corporations. Field Notes on
Democracy tracks the fault-lines that threaten to destroy India's
precarious democracy and send shockwaves through the region and
beyond. Arundhati Roy is a world-renowned Indian author and global
justice activist. From her celebrated Booker Prize-winning novel
The God of Small Things to her prolific output of writing on topics
ranging from climate change to war, the perils of free-market
development in India, and the defense of the poor, Roy's voice has
become indispensable to millions seeking a better world.
