The Centre for Indian Studies in Africa will host Manjusha Nair to present this talk.
Nair is Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology, National University of Singapore, and the author of Undervalued Dissent: Informal Workers’ Politics in India.
Indian investment in Africa has risen steadily in recent years, especially in the extraction of resources such as coal, copper and iron ore. How much can we understand this investment in extractive mining as a South-South development project?
Nair will explore this question by ethnographically analysing an Indian coal mining firm's practices in South Africa.
