- Summary:
- "Politics of Post-Civil Society is an attempt to trace a detailed history and contemporary dynamics of the five most significant political movements of our times: the civil/human rights movement, dalit and naxalite struggles, feminist politics and the nascent, emerging collectives against environmental degradation and pollution in the new industrial towns and how they have been negotiating with the hegemonic effects born out of the insidious co-habitation of political principles and practices in the domain referred to as the civil society."
