[Linganth] Becoming Organic

[Ilana Gershon]

Dear Colleagues,
Today on the CaMP blog, Shaila Seshia Galvin discusses her new book,
Becoming Organic.  Please check it out:  https://campanthropology.org/

Best,
Ilana

Press blurb: A rich, original study of the social and bureaucratic life of
organic quality that challenges assumptions of what *organic* means

Shaila Seshia Galvin examines certified organic agriculture in India’s
central Himalayas, revealing how the fraught concept of *organic* is less a
material property of land or its produce than a quality produced in
discursive, regulatory, and affective registers. *Becoming Organic* is a
nuanced account of development practice in rural India, as it has unfolded
through complex relationships forged among state authorities, private
corporations, and new agrarian intermediaries.
