Poor people confront the state on an everyday basis all over the
world. But how do they see the state, and how are these engagements
conducted? This book considers the Indian case where people's
accounts, in particular in the countryside, are shaped by a series
of encounters that are staged at the local level, and which are
also informed by ideas that are circulated by the government and
the broader development community. Drawing extensively on fieldwork
conducted in eastern India and their broad range of expertise, the
authors review a series of key debates in development studies on
participation, good governance, and the structuring of political
society. They do so with particular reference to the Employment
Assurance Scheme and primary education provision. Seeing the State
engages with the work of James Scott, James Ferguson and Partha
Chatterjee, and offers a new interpretation of the formation of
citizenship in South Asia.
