It fills a significant gap in the recent political history of India and sheds light on a period many would rather forget. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1975 Indira Gandhi declared the infamous 'Emergency' which gave her the power to silence opposition through arrests and censorship, and to introduce a programme of reform which included draconian campaigns of slum clearance and family planning.  In Delhi, access to basic civic amenities now became dependent on the production of a sterilization certificate.  For many of the city's poorest inhabitants, whose homes had been demolished, the choice was between sterilization and homelessness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnsettling Memories provides a gripping analysis of how state oppression was orchestrated and experienced in India's capital during the Emergency.  Using personal narratives and previously unstudied archival material, it traces the process by which policies were subverted at the local level trough a combination of violence, trickery, and market forces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmma Tarlo's documentation and analysis of the relationship between state archives and lived experience is methodologically innovative, charting new ground for anthropologist, historians and political scientists who are concerned with the role of the state in everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eGlossary\u003cbr\u003eAbbreviations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003eThe ethnography of events\u003cbr\u003eThe anthropology of the state\u003cbr\u003eLocation\u003cbr\u003eVoice and Image\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFORGETTING AND REMEMBERING THE EMERGENCY\u003cbr\u003eTeen Murti Bhavan\u003cbr\u003eStepping into the future: the official narrative of the Emergency\u003cbr\u003eAnatomizing the past: the post-Emergency counter narrative\u003cbr\u003e1 Safdarjung Road\u003cbr\u003eIn search of memories\u003cbr\u003eFragments of the past for the future\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePAPER TRUTHS\u003cbr\u003eA first glimpse at the files\u003cbr\u003eThe language of family planning\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVOICES FROM THE DUST\u003cbr\u003eVictims and victimizers: the case of Plot H68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTALKING ABOUT THE EMERGENCY: SOME INITIAL CONVERSATIONS\u003cbr\u003eLocating the Emergency\u003cbr\u003eNarratives of resettlement\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE FORCIBLE DEAL\u003cbr\u003eThe right to work\u003cbr\u003eThe right to civil amenities\u003cbr\u003eThe right to a home\u003cbr\u003eFamily and Community negotiations\u003cbr\u003eTowards an ethnography of the sterilized\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE VICTIMS TURNED AGENTS\u003cbr\u003eThe functioning of the market\u003cbr\u003eAn ethnography of the motivator\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHEROES, HEROINES, VILLAINS: SUBALTERN PERCEPTIONS?\u003cbr\u003eEntangled narratives\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eILLUSTRATIONS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThemes\u003cbr\u003eMemories of the Emergency\u003cbr\u003eWelcome: Urban Plans, Urban Realities\u003cbr\u003eFamily Planning: An Ongoing Saga\u003cbr\u003eUnsettled Lives\u003cbr\u003eThe Changing Face of Indira Gandhi\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Emma Tarlo \/ Permanent Black \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40776169291945,"sku":"11472","price":45.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/11472_aace717c-fcbb-4ad1-8bd0-1c296746ec8e.jpg?v=1625567528","url":"https:\/\/indiaclub.com\/products\/11472-unsettling-memories-narratives-of-indias-emergency","provider":"The India Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
