Description: Cultivating Community. Interest, Identity, and Ambiguity in an Indian Social Mobilization Author: YOUNGBLOOD, MICHAEL Title: Cultivating Community. Interest, Identity, and Ambiguity in an Indian Social Mobilization Publication: Pasadena. South Asian Studies Association. 2016 Description: Maps, black and white photographic illustrations, xix + 304pp, index, a very good paperback copy. "In Cultivating Community, anthropologist Michael Youngblood explores the creation of political meaning and the construction of collective identity in an agrarian social movement in western India. The book's core questions are fundamental to understanding mass movements anywhere: Where do movement ideologies come from and what makes them compelling? What motivates diverse groups of ordinary people to rise together in common cause? How can we make sense of individual participants in a movement when their participation sometimes appears irrational and against their own interests? Cultivating Community explores these questions through an examination of the Shetkari Sanghatana, a massive anti-statist movement in India's Maharashtra state. The movement, which mobilizes participants from a broad cross-section of rural castes and classes, calls for the end of government intervention in agriculture and the restoration of a golden age of rural rule under a mythological demon king named Bali. In this rich ethnographic examination, Youngblood argues for a participant-centric view of the Shetkari Sanghatana, digging beneath the movement's loudest voices and it's most visible exploits to see how the movement is experienced and constructed by individual participants on the ground."
