 wrought...pitch-perfect prose...In language of terrible beauty, she takes 
 India's everyday tragedies and reminds us to be outraged all over 
 again."\n—Time Magazine\n\nCombining fierce conviction, deft political 
 analysis, and beautiful writing, this is the essential new book from 
 Arundhati Roy\n\nThis series of essays examines the dark side of democracy 
 in contemporary India. It looks closely at how religious majoritarianism, 
 cultural nationalism, and neo-fascism simmer just under the surface of a 
 country that projects itself as the world’s largest democracy. Field 
 Notes on Democracy tracks the fault-lines that threaten to destroy 
 India’s precarious democracy and send shockwaves through the region and 
 beyond.\n\nRoy writes about how the combination of Hindu Nationalism and 
 India’s neo-liberal economic reforms which began their journey together 
 in the early 1990s are now turning India into a police state.\n\nAbout 
 Arundhati Roy:\n\nFrom her celebrated Booker-Prize winning novel The God of 
 Small Things, to her prolific output of writing on topics ranging from 
 climate change to war, the perils of free-market development in India, and 
 the defense of the poor, Roy’s voice has become indispensable to millions 
 seeking a better world.\n\n“The fierceness with which Arundhati Roy loves 
 humanity moves my heart.”\n-- Alice Walker\n\n"India's most impassioned 
 critic of globalization and American influence"\n—New York Times\n
