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.
