An empirical account of one of India's largest indigenous
populations, this book tells the story of the Gonds-who currently
face displacement and governmental control of the region's forests,
which has crippled their economy. Rather than protesting and
calling for state intervention, the Gonds have turned toward an
informal economy: they not only engage with flexible forms of work,
but also bargain for higher wages and experience agency and
autonomy. Smita Yadav conceives of this withdrawal from the state
in favour of precarious forms of work as an expression of anarchy
by this marginalized population. Even as she provides rich detail
of the Gonds' unusual working lives, which integrate work, labour,
and debt practices with ideologies of family and society, Yadav
illustrates the strength required to maintain dignity when a
welfare state has failed.
