Welcome to our final recap for the year!

This week, we look back at a bouquet of books which discuss political decay and renewal, ‘swaraj’ as shared responsibility between the people and the government, and the implications of participatory democracy across societal structures. We also revisit our titles which discuss challenges in decentralising governance, and the politics at play behind scheduling. Finally, we bring before you titles that discuss aspects of the most crucial pillar of democracy, one that is perhaps most vulnerable today—media, the technologies that power it and the freedoms that evade it.

With this recap we bid the year goodbye, and thank you for your constant support. Do visit us at the upcoming book fairs and litfests, and see www.orientblackswan.com for more! Happy New Year!

The year is galloping to a close and so is our countdown. Welcome to our third end-of-year recap!

Our spirit this week is festive and warm, and we are delighted to look back at some of our interesting releases from the year. These comprise titles that discuss diverse Dalit experiences, record labour movements which centralise ecological issues. Also for you, we offer general interest titles that contemplate, advise and inform on matters of public health, work ethic, and discuss postcolonial popular culture in India. We also look back at the moving literature we have published in English translation, stories that celebrate questions of identity, love and belonging, in a world where the agency of ordinary people is forever receding.

This festive season, bundle up with one of our many engaging reads, available at www.orientblackswan.com. And keep your eyes on this space for our final recap!
