Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. In August 2018, when the worst floods in a century hit Kerala, fishermen risked their lives, their boats their only source of livelihood and their health to rescue thousands of stranded flood victims. They spent days and nights soaked to the skin, steering on empty stomachs. They had to navigate the wild flood s treacherous undercurrents and dive into dirty waters, risking disease and injury. Sometimes, they had to carry people or act as footstools to help them climb into the boats. They would even swim alongside the boats, so that more people could fit. Veteran journalist Rejimon Kuttappan draws on years of friendship with the fisherfolk along the Thiruvananthapuram coast to bring their stories to the world in their own words. Through interviews with fishermen, government officials and flood victims, as well as extensive research, he brings to life the daring heroism and heart-wrenching sorrow of those terrible days. In the process, he reveals the precarious lives of the fisherfolk communities threatened by climate crisis, coastal erosion and a rapidly changing way of life. This book is both a chronicle of heroism and a tribute to the enduring courage of a community that saved Kerala in its moment of need. (jacket).…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Real Lives Saved, then remembered. John Easow is a Dalit fisherman's son from the Tamil coast who believes work might deliver him into dignity. Instead, a promise of employment in Thailand carries him across checkpoints into the lawless shadows of the South East Asian Golden Triangle. There, the dream of prosperity is replaced by a terrifying modern nightmare: cyber-slavery. Trapped inside a high-security scam compound, John and his companions are forced to defraud strangers online while facing the brutality of electric batons and the dreaded 'Tiger Bench.' What begins as a dangerous, forbidden love story back home unfurls into a harrowing account of captivity, coercion, and the desperate brotherhood formed under the threat of erasure on foreign soil. Threaded through this brutal geography is the Moei River—marking the border between Thailand and Myanmar, a living archive of the lost. As John plots a survival that seems impossible, memory becomes his resistance: of a father claimed by the sea, of Kathavarayan the rebel god, and of the stubborn, unextinguished insistence on being human. At once intimate and epic, The River of Grey Flowers moves between myth and reportage, the sacred and the transactional. It is a novel about what the world asks of the expendable—and what, against all odds, they still carry with them: memory, defiance, and the fragile hope of return.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Our complicated and fragile global economy relies on the unacknowledged labour of a subterranean network of undocumented migrant workers. Despite them providing vital support to host economies, governments continue to turn a blind eye to these migrants' woes without any consequences. In the absence of documents to speak for them, their human rights are systematically abused, their voices ignored, their existence refuted. The women, as is often the case, suffer under the dual attacks of patriarchy and anonymity. Exigencies of bureaucracy ensure that the children are often unregistered and even lack passports. The result is a truly exploited populace without much relief in sight. They survive on sheer courage and perseverance, shedding blood, sweat and tears that end up fuelling the thumping home and host economies. In Undocumented, journalist and migrant-rights researcher Rejimon Kuttappan brings to light the lives of these oft-ignored migrants through stories of six Indians in the Arab Gulf, and through them, voices the plight of millions more. Delving into histories both personal and national to establish where we are and how we got here, the author lays bare the lives of people betrayed by their own into human trafficking, into poverty, and into exile in a land that only glimmers with promise.…
