Abstract

It seems impossible read the news these days without being bombarded by mentions of populism - indeed, this ubiquitous term, this empty signifier, seems to have become a clickbaity stand-in for the seemingly impossible task of actually analyzing current political trends, from the United States to India, Turkey to Brazil, Israel to Austria. Majumder's work involves "dismantling ... the imagination that cast rural West Bengal as a bounded field or single object of study where an iconic peasantry speaks in a unified voice" (p. 22). By demonstrating how land ownership and forms of value work in Singur, Majumder pushes beyond simplistic accounts of the tensions between pro- and anti-industrial forces in rural West Bengal.
