Cosa succede una volta che la democrazia è stata esaurita? Quando è stata svuotata e svuotata di significato? Combinando intuizioni brillanti e prosa tagliente, Listening to Grasshoppers è l'esplorazione essenziale di Arundhati Roy del quadro politico dell'India odierna. In questi saggi esamina attentamente il ventre molle della più grande democrazia del mondo e mostra come il viaggio che il nazionalismo indù e le riforme economiche neoliberiste hanno iniziato insieme nei primi anni '90 si stia disfacendo in modi pericolosi. Iniziando con l'uccisione di musulmani sostenuta dallo stato nel Gujarat nel 2002 e terminando con un'analisi degli attacchi del novembre 2008 a Mumbai, Listening to Grasshoppers traccia le linee di faglia che minacciano di distruggere il futuro precario dell'India e, lungo il percorso, pone domande fondamentali sulla democrazia stessa, un sistema politico che, in virtù del fatto di essere considerato ''la migliore opzione disponibile'', è stato messo al di là di ogni dubbio e correzione.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 'What happens once democracy has been used up? When it has been hollowed out and emptied of meaning?'Combining brilliant insight and razor-sharp prose, Listening to Grasshoppers is Arundhati Roy's essential exploration of the political picture in India today. In these essays she takes a hard look at the underbelly of the world's largest democracy and shows how the journey that Hindu nationalism and neo-liberal economic reforms began together in the early 1990s is unravelling in dangerous ways. Beginning with the state-backed killing of Muslims in Gujarat in 2002, and ending with an analysis of the November 2008 attacks on Mumbai, Listening to Grasshoppers tracks the fault-lines that threaten to destroy India's precarious future and, along the way, asks fundamental questions about democracy itself - a political system that has, by virtue of being considered 'the best available option', been put beyond doubt and correction.
