Bitter Soil by Mahasweta Devi (9788170461470)

Description - Bitter Soil by Mahasweta Devi

This volume contains four of Mahasweta Devi's most powerful stories -- Salt, Seeds, The Witch, Little Ones -- set in the Palamau district, the tribal-intensive region she has toured extensively. These harsh, hard-hitting pieces are, in her own words, amongst the most important of her prolific writing career. Written in the eighties, they resonate with anger against the exploitation she witnessed first-hand, and the complacent hypocrisy of the upper castes and classes.
