How did caste, race, gender, and other fault lines operate in this governmental strategy to cope with a virus epidemic?The eight papers in this collection, highlight the ethical and political implications of the epidemic—particularly for India’s migrant workers.

What were the forces of power at play in this war against the epidemic?

What measures could have been taken and need to be taken now?Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
