Shorelines chronicles a politics of space-making among India’s southwestern fisher Catholics through which they have laid claims to rights. By narrating the interplay of rule and opposition through the production of space, it attests to how space itself is an essential ingredient in struggles for rights. Fishers have not simply negotiated within spaces of power. Rather, as this book illuminates they have generated political geographies that challenge the marginalization of the coast and its inhabitants.
