Books by Arun Agrawal

In this text, the author, Arun Agrawal uses the story of the Raikas, a little-known group of migrant shepherds in western India, to re-examine scholarship on markets and exchange, local and state politics, and community and hierarchy.

An investigation of environmental politics in light of Foucault's work, drawing on and extending work done in feminist environmentalism, political ecology, and common property scholarship, explains why villagers in the Kumaon Himalaya have begun to conserve forests.
