marcynewman 's review for:
A Gardener in the Wasteland: Jotiba Phule's Fight for Liberty
by Srividya Natarajan
I really wanted to like this book more than I did. I felt that it was a bit too much focused on merely flipping the power structure. I enjoyed the part where the narrative shows how Phule questioned Brahman culture and practice, but the suggestions for how to change things, I think, were a bit to simplistic. It would have been nice just to share Phule's ideas and let the reader make up for herself what ways forward there might be.
