Asking the Earth: Farms, Forestry and Survival in India
This is a documentation of colonial intervention in India, describing its disastrous effects on Indian agriculture. It then describes the equally calamitous effects of Western techno-fixes, calling into question the very concept of development. Abandoning atomic physics for farming, Winin Pereira established a co-operative farm at Alonde, north of Bombay 25 years ago. His group lived through the false promises of modern techniques - ploughs which dug too deep, irrigation systems which lowered the water table, fertilizers and pesticides which damaged the soil - and instead learned from the local tribal people methods which had proved themselves for centuries. It shows how intelligent use of resources and humane forms of production can be achieved without the damage and toxins of modern farming. Its enormous success has had a great influence on farming in India.

Freedom Unfinished: Fundamentalism and Popular Resistance in Bangladesh Today
cover image for 9781856499071
Jeremy Seabrook argues that the diversity of cultures is threatened by the onslaught of global concentrations of power and wealth. Seabrook takes the case of Bengal, a culture with a rich tradition of song, dance, and drama still practiced by most villagers. Threatened by Western economic penetration, alien forms of religious fundamentalism, and the industrialized world's popular culture, many Bengalis are resisting this violent attack on their culture and traditions. It is in this light that Bangladesh can be seen as a microcosm for other threatened cultures. (view table of contents)
