Plantation Crisis offers a complex understanding of how processes of social and political alienation unfold in moments of economic rupture. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in the Peermade and Munnar tea belts, Jayaseelan Raj - himself a product of the plantation system - offers a unique and richly detailed analysis of the profound, multi-dimensional sense of crisis felt by those who are at the bottom of global plantation capitalism and caste hierarchy. Tea production in India accounts for 25 per cent of global output. The colonial era plantation system - and its two million strong workforce - has, since the mid-1990s, faced a series of ruptures due to neoliberal economic globalisation. In the South Indian state of Kerala, otherwise known for its labour-centric development initiatives, the Tamil speaking Dalit workforce, whose ance$astors were brought to the plantations in the 19th century, are at the forefront of this crisis, which has profound impacts on their social identity and economic wellbeing. Out of the colonial history of racial capitalism and indentured migration, Plantation Crisis opens our eyes to the collapse of the plantation system and the rupturing of Dalit lives in India's tea belt. Praise for Plantation Crisis 'Raj's well-crafted ethnography offers profound and moving insight into the experience of Tamil Dalit plantation workers as they become alienated not just from their labour and its product, but from their families, communities, settlements and selves. An excellent read.' - Tania Li, University of Toronto 'An important, insightful and compelling story of the alienation of Tamil Dalit plantation workers, the disjuncture between economic and social mobility, the production of stigma and the role of caste and class, the failure of unions alongside that of the state and corporations, the destru$action of labour organisation yet the possibility of finding resistance. Not only a major contribution to the South Asian literature but also a decolonisation "must read".' - Alpa Shah, London School of Economics 606 $aTea plantations$zIndia$xHistory 606 $aTea plantation workers$zIndia$xEconomic conditions 606 $aTea plantation workers$zIndia$xSocial conditions 606 $aDalits$zIndia 606 $aTea trade$zIndia$xHistory 606 $aDalits$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00887187 606 $aTea plantation workers$xSocial conditions$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01144173 606 $aTea plantations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01747829 606 $aTea trade$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01144179 607 $aIndia$2fast 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aTea plantations$xHistory. 615 0$aTea plantation workers$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aTea plantation workers$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aDalits 615 0$aTea trade$xHistory. 615 7$aDalits. 615 7$aTea plantation workers$xSocial conditions. 615 7$aTea plantations. 615 7$aTea trade. 676 $a331.7633720954 700 $aRaj$b Jayaseelan$01263288 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910585985803321 996 $aPlantation crisis$92960493 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03656nam 2200673 a 450 001 9910970496503321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786612152467 010 $a9781282152465 010 $a1282152467 010 $a9789027291806 010 $a9027291802 035 $a(CKB)1000000000535112 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000139692 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11151251 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000139692 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10017311 035 $a(PQKB)11120934 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC622477 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL622477 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10201763 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL215246 035 $a(OCoLC)647685004 035 $a(DE-B1597)721094 035 $a(DE-B1597)9789027291806 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000535112 100 $a20070718d2007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 04$aThe discourse of Europe $etalk and text in everyday life /$fedited by Sharon Millar, John Wilson 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aAmsterdam ;$aPhiladelphia $cJohn Benjamins Pub.$dc2007 215 $a200 p. $cill 225 1 $aDiscourse approaches to politics, society, and culture,$x1569-9463 ;$vv. 26 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a9789027227171 311 08$a9027227179 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aA phenomenology of citizenship among young Europeans / Kevin G.

Hence, the volume will offer insights into the rarely glimpsed micro political world of ordinary talk and explore the way in which such talk in social interaction and other spheres might help us understand what Europe means to a range of its citizens. Using a range of broadly discursive approaches we will touch on, inter alia, issues of identity, youth, borders, ethnicity, local politics, and minority languages. In the end, we suggest, it is a common sense view of pragmatic utility that centres what it is to be European, and this is something which is continually fluid and shifting within ever changing social, historical and political circumstances. 410 0$aDiscourse approaches to politics, society, and culture ;$vv. 26. 606 $aDiscourse analysis 606 $aEthnicity$zEurope 607 $aEurope$xLanguages 615 0$aDiscourse analysis. 615 0$aEthnicity 676 $a401/.41094 701 $aMillar$b Sharon$01802153 701 $aWilson$b John$f1954-$0135053 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970496503321 996 $aThe discourse of Europe$94347711 997 $aUNINA
