The wise hours: a journey into the wild and secret world of owls
In "The Wise Hours: A Journey Into the Wild and Secret World of Owls," first published in the U.K. in 2018 as "Owl Sense," Miriam Darlington resists what she calls the blandification of owls. Popular culture has tamed them into cuteness, turning them into kitschy collectibles on the shelves of souvenir stores, ornaments on Christmas trees or, thanks to the Harry Potter books, companionable pets. Yet Ms. Darlington, a lecturer in creative writing at the University of Plymouth, reminds us that owls in the wild are in fact plenty strange, even by avian standards. They don't sing, announcing their presence with hoots and howls, screeches and screams. Their nests, those altars of parental solicitude proudly built by other birds, are often slipshod affairs. And there's nothing fluffy or bland about the way they kill, gliding so noiselessly through the dark that they can hear a vole nibble under the snow.

Such figures are often weirdos though perhaps that's too strong a word.

Why dance matters
Almost seven-eighths of the way through "Why Dance Matters," her smart, bracing book of reflection, analysis, memoir and history, Mindy Aloff finally admits: "Fundamental to why dancing as a cultural practice persisted over the past forty thousand years or so is surely, at least in part, the pleasure of doing it." Talk about burying the lede! The poet Elizabeth Bishop once wrote that what we want from great art is "the same thing that is necessary for its creation," namely, "a self-forgetful, perfectly useless concentration." Dance, more than any art that involves language or produces meaning, is the most useless and, perhaps therefore, the most necessary.

They also reflect these 'paranoid' and 'reparative' modes, demonstrating the possibilities and limitations of each.

America, a redemption story: choosing hope, creating unity
In "America, a Redemption Story," Mr. Scott has compiled a series of stories, mostly autobiographical, that exemplify the virtues of work, forgiveness, courage and self-improvement. The overarching point: Just as an individual can improve through hardship, so can a nation. The book is as much self-help and inspiration as politics and current events, but I don't discount his presidential prospects. It's true that, apart from school choice and "opportunity zones," Mr. Scott lacks deep proficiency in policy. Unlike Ms. Haley, though, Mr. Scott admits it. Most new staff members in his Senate office, he writes, "take a few years to realize I don't actually love politics or policy."

Beyond consumption: India's new middle class in the neo-liberal times
There has been much academic focus on the expansion of the middle class in India even as there does not seem to be much concurrence about the various segments of this grouping, especially the ones that actually constitute/represent this social category. Sifting through the scholarly literature on the middle class, it comes across as a "notoriously loose"/"indeterminate social category" with a "questionable explanatory value". The post-1990s India has witnessed the "entry of a range of new social categories divided broadly in social/spatial terms and also in terms of their orientations and choices. This may be attributed to several factors like the spread of education in "Indian languages, growing urbanisation and industrialisation, affirmative action policies, and vast expansion of public sector jobs under a developmental welfare state. This explains why unlike the usage of rich or poor class in a singular form, the middle class is often referred to in a plural form.

Reworking culture relatedness, rites, and resources in the Garo hills, North East India
Erik De Maaker combines his extensive ethnographic fieldwork, done over two decades, and observations on the Garos and their culture, in the book, Reworking Culture: Relatedness, Rites, and Resources in Garo Hills, North East India. The central arguments of this study deconstruct the essentialist and exoticisation of indigenous people. It looks into what constitutes indigeneity, while bringing forth the agency of indigenous peoples and how they are situated in the hierarchical world, marred by the state and mainstream societies. The author notes of earlier writing on the Garos, especially Robbins Burling?s Rengsanggri: Family and Kinship in a Garo Village wherein the distinguishing feature of his own work is the methodology of the ethnographic study.

Translating myself and others
Translating Myself and Others is a deep meditation on the art of translation by eminent writer Jhumpa Lahiri. In the opening chapter, the author tells the reader about her early life, different locations and languages that shaped her, and her obsession with the Italian language. Lahiri moved to Italy in 2011. However, she did not publish a single novel in English after The Lowland (2013), which astounded her fans and critics alike. Whereas most writers who write in languages other than English move towards it to gain a wider readership, Lahiri?s unusual crossing to Italian from English cannot be anything but her love for the language. However, such motives, no matter how genuine, seem insufficient to satisfy the inquisitive minds, and hence persistent questioning follows Lahiri.

A reflection on Sraffa's revolution in economic theory
No revolution in economic theory has been quieter and more explosive than that sparked by the publication of Piero Sraffa's slim volume Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities, in 1960. Using linear algebra, the author sought no less than to solve conundrums in classical theory, as well as set up a research programme in political economy. Over time, the economics of Sraffa settled into a rich, thick soup resting in a kitchen presided over by a handful of mostly Italian chefs. Then Ajit Sinha entered and began to stir the pot. His contestation of the culinary skills of the possessors of the Sraffa recipe book continues through this volume which is a collection of insights from the finest international scholars on the subject. A galaxy of 25 stars shines over 18 chapters. The format of each reminded me of my school debates; there is thesis followed by antithesis, concluding with a counter to the counter. The erudition is staggering and a complete appraisal would tax my abilities and the kindness of the editors of this journal. I have done no more than cull out some themes with the associated authors.

City of shadows: slums and informal work in Bangalore
Most discussions on urban poverty get quickly framed as issues of urban governance or infrastructure delivery to the poor, like housing, water, sanitation, and healthcare while sidestepping the core issue of wages. City of Shadows: Slums and Informal Work in Bangalore gets to the crux of the issue of wages as driving urban poverty?that the urban poor who find work in the informal economy find jobs that are irregular and get paid less than the minimum wage. In cases where they are paid just about the bare minimum wages, it may be less than the living wages given the cost of living in cities and unregulated working conditions that may be hazardous to their health. Consequently, the conceptual framework of the book looks at persistent urban poverty through the informality of work lens and the resulting poverty of wages.

Industrialisation for employment and growth in India: lessons from small firm clusters and beyond
The manufacturing sector occupies a special place in the theory and practice of economic development and structural change. Historical experience as well as economic theory strongly suggest that sustained increases in per capita income occur only after the manufacturing sector reaches a certain critical size in terms of the share of GDP as well as employment. Compared to agriculture, construction or services, aggregate output growth in manufacturing is more strongly correlated with aggregate gross domestic product (GDP) growth due to extensive backward and forward linkages of this sector with the rest of the economy. And due to economies of scale andrnembeddedness of new techno?logy in new investments, the growth of output causes productivity growth in this sector. These ?Kaldor Laws? along with the capacity of manufacturing to show ?unconditional convergence? or catch-up of labour productivity independent of country-specific characteristics make this sector special (Rodrik 2011; Storm 2015).1 In late industrialising countries such as India, the problem takes on a new dimension?how to develop industrial capacity, infrastructure and competitiveness in a global economy consisting of far more efficient firms? A vigorous debate has raged on the extent to which industrial policies like subsidy and trade policies like tariffs contributed to late industrialisation success stories like South Korea, Taiwan or more recently China (Amsden 2001; Cherif and Hasanov 2019; Lane 2021). In the 21st century, the story of industrialisation has met a new plot twist?the challenge of climate change.

Mobility as capability: women in the informal economy
Afalling labour force participation rate in India for women has been a cause for concern over the last few decades; underlying this concern is the retreat of women from paid work into the private site of the home tied to reproductive labour. This phenomenon is bemoaned attributing greater agency to women who participate in paid work outside the home. Nikhila Menon's book, however, rooted in a study of women in the fisheries industry in Kerala, suggests that the answer to greater autonomy for women may not be as simple as seeking greater access to public space and paid work. Menon, thus, seeks to unpack the assumptions baked into a general understanding on labour and gender, that women's participation in paid work and the ability to be in public and be mobile translates into improved gender relations and autonomy for women.

Tailspin: the politics of India-China economic relations
In international relations theory, "India-China relations are looked at in a prism of "complex interdependence", giving primacy to economics or economic relations in the conduct of interstate politics. It is akin to "antagonistic interdependence" (Tay 2010) involving cooperation, competition, and conflict. Therefore, India-China economic relations reflect as a microcosm of multilayered interactions between the two neighbours. From being two of the most diverse and populous states with different political systems, both countries seek to reshape the "nature of geopolitics in global and regional domains. The two giants' relations resonate with these political, security, and economic aspirations even at the bilateral level. Indeed, evidence of this engagement can be seen in the robust spurt of trade flows between the two countries following the June 2020 border clash in Ladakh.

The indentured archipelago: experiences of Indian labour in Mauritius and Fiji
The Indian indenture trade was one of the most important labour movements of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Bound by five-year labour contracts, more than a million Indian labourers migrated to plantation colonies across the world (particularly the Indian Ocean and Caribbean region) between 1837 and 1916. The indenture trade and the experiences of indentured Indians have been studied extensively by historians of labour, empire, and migration. In this crowded field, Reshaad Durgahee has located a crucial but previously understudied niche?the spatial experience of indentured Indians. The Indentured Archipelago: Experiences of Indian Labour in Mauritius and Fiji, 1871?1916 offers a deep and detailed history of how Indian indentured labourers negotiated and manoeuvred the space in Britain?s two indenture colonies?Mauritius and Fiji?between 1871 and 1916. In so doing, Durgahee reveals a complex network of plantation colonies that saw constant movement of labourers between them. In the 80-year long history of indenture, Mauritius, as one of the earliest colonies to import indentured labour, represented its beginning. As one of the last colonies to import indenture, Fiji represented its end. The history of these two colonies, which inhabited disparate geographical spaces but were connected by the common thread of remigration, offers the ideal backdrop for this study of transoceanic subaltern mobility.

Universalising healthcare in India: from care to coverage
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in books on the subject of public health and healthcare as we are living in the deadliest health crisis of modern times. But the edited volume, Universalising Healthcare in India: From Care to Coverage, gives a close look at the critical issues plaguing health systems in the country and attempts to - answer the questions of "how" and "why" of the India's healthcare crisis that it was confronting before the outbreak of pandemic itself. It documents the shift in the role of the state in the provisioning and financing of healthcare services which once upon a time was the hallmark of the welfare state policy in postcolonial India. It critically looks at the role of the state and the private sector in healthcare, and discusses major neo-liberal reforms since the early 1990s and its implications on the health of the population. Most importantly, it focuses on the transition in the role of the government in providing comprehensive primary healthcare (CPHC) in the context of Alma Ata Declaration of 1978. The declaration aimed at ensuring equitable, universal and integrated primary healthcare

A hygienic city-nation: space, community, and everyday life in colonial Calcutta
It is a book on colonial Calcutta. And "colonial Calcutta" is a subject on which scholarship is unending. One lands at the thickly stuffed shelves of the National Library or the hordes of annals preserved at the Town Hall of Calcutta. The history of colonial Calcutta has been researched and written by many authors from different perspectives, both in Bengali and English, and also in other languages. The stories of old Calcutta circulate as urban folklore among the residents of the city.1 Memories, histories, chronicles, legends, myths mingle together and crowd the pages of the numerous accounts produced on the eastern Indian city that grew and developed parallelly with the progress of the British empire. It takes stamina to rummage through this vast plethora of documents, narrow down to a specific research subject, and reach a precise conclusion. The author of this book has shown that resilience.rnThe book looks back into the politics of localities (paras) in the city of Calcutta. In four neatly arranged chapters, the author has unfolded the history of the Hindu Bengali middle-class bhadralok population of the city who intervened into the urban construction projects by interjecting values of Hindu faith and linking it to a regional Bengali nationalism. The central focus of the book is the urban sanitary structure. The Hindu bhadralok influenced the city administration and manipulated the sanitary projects on the line of Hindu practices. Since the middle of the 19th century, the paras of Calcutta thus got sharply divided on communal and caste lines. Hindus and Muslims, people belonging to different castes, were ghettoed within specific localities. Everyday life, religious festivals, cultural activities, even secular events revolved around caste or religious identities within the paras. The para was not an administrative category.

In the past three decades, the career of "liberalism as a political ideology and as a normative theory" has oscillated between hegemonic trium-phalism on the one hand and erosion of legitimacy on the other. The ongoing war in Ukraine once again exposes the illegitimacy of the liberal democratic project to offer a credible political opposition to the imperial expansionism of Russia. Against this historical backdrop animated by the disavowed legitimation crisis of liberalism, when one reads Pietro Maffettone's International Toleration: A Theory, it can elicit two contrasting, almost polarising responses among its readers.
