“Kerswell and Pratap have fashioned a significant and refreshingly original book substantially contributing to research on India’s labour movement and reshaping social sciences scholarship of worker-self management. A crucial contribution to historical-comparative research on worker cooperatives in India formed and run by left parties, foreign funded NGOs, and Indigenous peoples. This book has significant implications for similar initiatives underway across the Global South. Essential reading for students of the sociology and politics of the labour movement.” (Immanuel Ness, Professor of Political Science, Brooklyn College, City University of New York, Author of Southern Insurgency: The Coming of the Global Working Class)
“An important contribution to the literature on cooperatives, Worker Cooperatives in India analyzes the achievements and limitations of three cooperatives formed from below, and it critiques a cooperative formed from above that is adapted to neoliberalism. The book demonstrates the importance of state support for cooperatives as well as the necessity for a politically intelligent ideology of the Left, which posits constructing socialist forms during the popular struggle for political power in capitalist nations.” (Charles McKelvey, Professor Emeritus, Presbyterian College, Clinton, South Carolina, Author of The Evolution and Significance of the Cuban Revolution)
“Timothy Kerswell and Surendra Pratap have done an in-depth study of Chhattisgarh Mukti Morcha and other movements in India analyzing their strengths and weaknesses. They are not only researchers, they provide an inner eye to India’s working class movements.” (Dr Saibal Jana,Chief Physician, Shaheed Hospital (Martyr’s Hospital), Dalli-Rajhara, Chhattisgarh, India)
