Indigenist Mobilization by Luisa Steur
In Kerala, political activists with a background in Communism are now instead asserting political demands on the basis of indigenous identity. Why did a notion of indigenous belonging come to replace the discourse of class in subaltern struggles? Indigenist Mobilization answers this question through a detailed ethnographic study of the dynamics between the Communist party and indigenist activists, and the subtle ways in which global capitalist restructuring leads to a resonance of indigenist visions in the changing everyday working lives of subaltern groups in Kerala.-

"This is a wonderfully written piece that will raise some eyebrows and generate some wonderful debatesThe critique of indigenist "identity" politics has been sorely needed for a long time, and this work helps us assess that context in a more robust and critical fashion without falling into a lackluster, celebratory mode of championing indigenous politics on a pure level of 'identity' and 'rights'." * Ananthakrishnan Aiyer, University of Michigan
