A few weeks after India detonated a thermonuclear device in 1998, Arundhati Roy wrote ˜The End of Imagination`. The essay attracted worldwide attention as the voice of a brilliant Indian writer speaking out with clarity and conscience against nuclear weapons. Over the next three and a half years, she wrote a series of political essays on a diverse range of momentous subjects: from the illusory benefits of big dams, to the downside of corporate globalization and the US Government`s war against terror. First published in 2001, The Algebra of Infinite Justice brings together all of Arundhati Roy`s political writings so far. This revised paperback edition includes two new essays, written in early 2002: ˜Democracy: Who`s She When She`s at Home`, that examines the horrific communal violence in Gujarat, and ˜War Talk: Summer Games with Nuclear Bombs`, about the threat of nuclear war in the Subcontinent.
