In the Global South, indigenous people have been continuously
subjected to top-down, and often violent, processes of
post-colonial state and nation building. This book examines the
development dilemmas of the indigenous people (adivasis) of the
Indian state of Kerala. It explores the different facets of change
in their lives and livelihoods in the context of modernisation
under different political regimes. As part of the Indian Union,
Kerala followed a development approach in tune with the Government
of India with regard to indigenous communities. However, within the
framework of India's quasi-federal polity, the state of Kerala has
been tracing a development path of its own, which has come to be
known as the 'Kerala model of development'. Adopting a historical
political economic approach, the book locates the adivasi
communities in the larger contextual shifts from late colonialism
through the post-independence years, and critically analyses the
Kerala model of development with particular reference to the
adivasis' changing political status and rights to land. It pays
special attention to policy dynamics in the neoliberal phase, and
the actual practices of decentralisation as a way of including the
socially excluded and marginalised. Offering a theoretical
elaboration of the interaction between class and indigeneity based
on intensive fieldwork in Kerala, the book addresses adivasi
development in relation to the general development experience of
Kerala, and goes on to relate this particular study to the global
context of indigenous people's struggles. It will be of interest to
those working in the fields of South Asian Development, Political
Economy and South Asian Politics.
