This book challenges the ongoing debates on poor people's negotiations with democracy. It analyses the varied ways in which the poor participate in a democracy. Based on fieldwork, Roy argues that poor people neither assimilate into the universal values associated with democracy nor maintain their difference vis-Ã -vis democracy.
