"In the Shadow of the State suggests that well-meaning indigenous rights and development claims and interventions may misrepresent and hurt the very people they intend to help. It is a powerful critique based on extensive ethnographic research in Jharkhand, a state in eastern India officially created in 2000. While the realization of an independent Jharkhand was the culmination of years of local, regional, andtransnational activism for the rights of the culturally autonomous indigenous people living there, Alpa Shah argues that the activism unintentionally further marginalized the region's poorest people."--Back cover.
