Summary: Ecology and Equity explores a society that is, in ecological terms, the most complex in the world. India's peoples range from technocrats to hunter-gatherers and its environments from dense forest to wasteland. This book provides the first analytically sophisticated and empirically grounded study of environmental conflict in India. It presents an original theoretical framework which innovatively combines political economy with ecology, emphasizing a forward-looking agenda for environmental reform in the Third World. Radical both in its interpretation of the crisis in India and in its proposals for ecological reform, Ecology and Equity is essential reading for all concerned with Third World development and / or the enviromental debate.
