Brewing Resistance: the Coffee House Movement against India’s 1975 Emergency

Description: In 1947, decolonization promised a better life for India’s peasants, workers, students, Dalits, and religious minorities. By the 1970s, however, this promise had not yet been realized. Various groups fought for social justice but in response, Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi suspended the constitution, and with it, civil liberties. The hope of decolonization that had turned to disillusion in the postcolonial period quickly descended into a nightmare. In this book, Kristin Plys recounts the little known story of the movement against the Emergency as seen through New Delhi’s Indian Coffee House based on newly uncovered evidence and oral histories with the men who led the movement against the Emergency.

Bio: Kristin Plys is an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto Mississauga’s Sociology Department. Her research focuses on the intersection of political economy, postcolonial theory, labour and labour movements, historical sociology, and global area studies. Much of her intellectual work analyzed the historical trajectory of global capitalism as seen from the working class and anti-colonial movements in the Global South. She has published two books: Brewing Resistance: Indian Coffee House and the Emergency in Postcolonial India and Capitalism and its Uncertain Future.
