The Indian subdistrict of Shahabad, located in the southeastern tip of Rajasthan, is an area of extreme poverty. It is the home of the Sahariyas, classified as Rajasthan's only "primitive tribe." The author organizes his study around two themes: power and ethics, through which he explores a complex terrain of material and spiritual forces.
