Broken Republic: Three Essays by Arundhati Roy

5.0

This is an excellent expose of a resistance movement in India that is relatively little known outside that country. Roy's prose are compelling and, at turns, both stark and beautiful. Roy masterfully reveals the many nuances of the tribal-national, rich-poor, powerful-weak, and politically driven divisions intertwined in this complex and tragic conflict over land rights and social responsibilities. And while Roy is addressing the conflict in India, the implications are far reaching.
