With more than 84.4 million, India has the largest population of the tribal people in the world. Each tribe has its own identity and culture which varies greatly from each other. The tribes have their distinct socio-economic, cultural, political and religious institutions which are important part and parcel of cultural heritage of India. They have contributed immensely towards the history and culture of India. At present there do approximately six hundred and ninety seven tribes inhabit in different parts of India.

Drawing example from a traditional occupation of silversmithy in Cuttack city in Odisha in Eastern India it looks at the socio-structural characteristics of silversmithy in the urban informal sector. It delves into the exploitative relations of production and analyses work culture, occupational dynamics and human relations at work. The study shows that lack of adequate resources, working capital, raw materials, and space for storage and display of finished products and market network make the artisans depend on the middlemen.

Overall, the book relies on concise analyses of secondary sources, but is particularly convincing when complemented by interviews conducted by the author. The richness of the depiction of the Bangladeshi survivor could have been supported by similar insights into other women’s experiences. Moreover, the chapter on Kenya could also have benefited from an equally in-depth and embodied account of a woman surviving this war. The personal account here is provided by a ‘Jane Smith’, who contributes greatly as an informant, but whose embodied experience is not given the same emphasis as Priyobhashinee’s. With these minor additions, the book could have made an even richer contribution to widening the scope of recognition. Women and Transitional Justice is a timely piece on how feminism can help postconflict policies move towards stability and equality, and offers useful illustrations on how current practice might be harmful to women. The book is a welcome reader for students and scholars in the study areas of global development, gender, war, or politics. Individuals involved in policy and/or implementation would also greatly benefit from using the book as a starting point for looking more closely at the multiplicity of gendered experiences and needs during and after war.
