Unraveling farmer suicides in India : egoism and masculinity in peasant life / Nilotpal Kumar. - First edition. - 1 online resource : illustrations (black and white)
This edition previously issued in print: 2017.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
This work describes spatially grounded transformations that are unfolding in the domains of production, consumption, social bonds and gender identities in rural India today. These transformations and the engendered emotional experiences that they locally evoke are used as the context to understand 'farmers' suicides'. The book thus challenges the common understanding that 'farmers' suicides' are objectively, uniformly and exclusively marked by 'farm-related' economic causes. It attempts to locate farm related suicides in the wider complex of rural suicides and explores social meanings of suicide.
