Abstract: Abstract This study is an attempt in understanding the agrarian crisis through the narrative approach. This approach helps us in examining the society and also understanding the human experience. It provides intellectuals an insight into the social, economic, political and cultural environment facing the section of population under our study. These angles are not available for social scientist in the traditional method of research. The study tried to understand the agrarian crisis engulfing cash crop production in Idukki district of Kerala through Joseph, a 53-year old small farmer. His struggle and decisions form part of the study. Such kind of narrative ‘turn’ also helps other researchers to study other angles which the author himself/ herself has not done.
