Averting the Apocalypse pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
There are two Indias: the caste and class elite who hold all power and make up 10 to 15 percent of the population, and everyone else. "Averting the Apocalypse" is about everyone else. Arthur Bonner, a former "New York Times" reporter with long experience as a foreign correspondent in Asia, conducted interviews over many months while traveling almost 20,000 miles within India seeking out the underclass and social activists who together are beginning to mobilize for social change at the bottom of Indian society. Working in areas torn by violence, Bonner offers a terrifyingly accurate portrait of a society bloodied by decades of unequal social structure and the absence of a civil society and political mechanism capable of responding to the exploitation of the poor and weak.
Bonner finds that India's inability or refusal to address its debilitating social structure may be the precursor to an apocalyptic social upheaval unless heed is paid to the social movements that his first-hand investigation reveals.
