This is a powerful book in the way in which it unfolds the lives and anxieties of Santal women in Dumka District, Jharkhand. From the very beginning, adivasi women come alive through separate life histories. Land for the Santal women is not a mere economic resource. It stands for security, social position and identity, and in this men have a distinct advantage. Soon after, writing in a personal vein, the author unfolds how these anxieties of the Santal women resonate with her own.

Based on rich ethnographic material, this sensitive book lays bare the reality of being an adivasi and beyond that an adivasi woman in the modern globalized world.
