Hybrid Histories Forests Frontiers and Wilderness in Western India - Studies in Social Ecology and Environmental History
Author: Ajay Skaria
This book explores a crucial dimension of Indian history: the politics of wildness. It suggests that wildness was affirmed in various ways by early nineteenth century forest communities as a way of challenging upper upper caste values. With colonial rule, wildness was marginalized, leading to a new identity: adivasi.
