Description - Power, Protest and Participation by Subrata K. Mitra
The moral and political challenge of mass poverty and its potential solution in the diffusion of economic democracy at the grass roots level are among the major reasons for developing a serious understanding of the role of local elites in rural development. The author explores the attitudes of local elites in the rural setting of India towards protest and participation in development. His analysis is based on methods through which they intervene in the process of development, and are in turn affected by it. Local elite groups are the hinge between the state and rural society. Therefore, this original and unrivalled study provides not only a detailed and thoroughly documented account of the development process, but also illuminates and redefines arguments about the nature of the state, and state legitimacy.
