Struggles for Livelihood and the Environment: Frictions and Intersections
Document Type
Book Review
Abstract
This essay reviews two books—Ravi Raman's (2025) book Political Ecospatiality: Livelihood, Environment, and Subaltern Struggles and Silpa Satheesh’s (2005) Labour, Nature and Capitalism: Exploring Labour–Environmental Conflicts in Kerala, India.
It seeks to demonstrate that the fight for livelihood and the environment continues long after significant gains in social development have been achieved. Rooted in the struggles of the marginalized in Kerala, India, the books make compelling arguments about the persistence of conflicts between different visions of development, with relevance far beyond their immediate contexts.
