THE ALGEBRA OF INFINITE JUSTICE brings together Arundhati Roy’s early political essays, from the iconic ‘The End of Imagination’ and ‘The Greater Common Good’ about India’s nuclear tests and the dam industry to the equally influential ‘The Algebra of Infinite Justice’ about the 9/11 attacks and the US government’s War Against Terror.
The essays in AN ORDINARY PERSON’S GUIDE TO EMPIRE draw the thread of empire through seemingly unconnected arenas, uncovering the links between America’s War on Terror, the growing threat of corporate power, the response of nation states to resistance movements, the role of NGOs, caste and communal politics in India, and the perverse machinery of an increasingly corporatized mass media.
THE SHAPE OF THE BEAST is a collection of fourteen interviews, conducted between January 2001 and March 2008, that examine the nature of state and corporate power as it has emerged during this period, and the shape that resistance movements are taking.
In eleven powerful, and closely argued, linked essays, LISTENING TO GRASSHOPPERS takes a hard look at the underbelly of the world’s largest democracy.
BROKEN REPUBLIC consists of four essays including ‘Walking with the Comrades’, a travelogue that reports on the conflict in the forested heartland of India where indigenous peoples’ lands have been handed over to corporate companies, and the widely read ‘Capitalism: A Ghost Story’ about the complex ways in which modern Capitalism works.
THE DOCTOR AND THE SAINT is about the debate between two of India’s most beloved and iconic figures, Dr B.R Ambedkar and Mohandas Gandhi.

But when Tilo claims […]
