Ecology, Economy and Society - the INSEE Journal, 2024, vol. 07, issue 01

Abstract: Set Adrift provides a detailed and comprehensive account of the interplay between caste, rights, and spatial politics in urban India. The book focuses on the political struggles of the Koli community, particularly those engaged in artisanal fishing, fish processing, and sales in Mumbai. It weaves a detailed account of their everyday struggles, from the pressures of changing fish markets and its impacts on Koli women and domestic economies to the charged politics of development projects and the changing demographics and practices that characterize the fishing industry.
