- Description
- Through long-term ethnographic research, predominantly in the northern state of Haryana and the southern state of Tamil Nadu, the author describes how the All India Democratic Women's Association (a socialist women's organization) has built its strength by organizing the women most marginalized, i.c. Muslim women and Dalit women, by neoliberal policies and economics.
