This book provides a sociological analysis of the controversy
surrounding GM crops in Telangana, India. There is much debate as
to whether GM technology holds the key to improving the welfare of
poor farmers globally or serves primarily to increase the profits
of multinational corporations while enhancing cultivator risk.
Desmond's study is located in the economically vulnerable and
politically volatile district of Warangal in Telangana, a context
associated with high numbers of farmer suicides. Uniquely
foregrounding the perspectives of cultivators and the landless,
Desmond explores how GM crops are variously legitimated and
delegitimated in three Warangal villages by those whose livelihoods
are at stake in the debate, but whose voices are rarely heard
within it. This book will be significant for those with an interest
in GM crops, power and knowledge and their relation to
understandings of development, democracy and risk management
worldwide.
