“Marginlands is a tour de force, a magnificent first book about India’s marginalized landscapes and inhabitants, written with compassion, compressed elegance of observation, and urgent political force.”—Robert Macfarlane
As a child growing up in Mumbai, Arati Kumar-Rao’s parents instilled in her an abiding love for the natural world and a passion for storytelling. Years later, adrift in a corporate job and concerned by the unbridled development of her country, she asked herself, “When will you stop doing what you can do and start doing what you really want to do?”
Richly illustrated with the author’s photographs and drawings, Marginlands is a vibrant and compelling account of the changes reshaping India today. Engaging and urgent, infused with wonder and profound empathy, this is a work of love and hope, inspiring readers across the world to preserve and protect the world around us.
