With social marginality employed as a key analytical lens, Shalini M. and Moncy Mathew shed light on the environmental and societal protest narratives of four extraordinary activists who contend with such issues as landlessness and the resulting chaos and violence, the fight for clean water and the changes to delicate ecosystems. Positioned against a history of environmentalism in India and invoking ideas from ecocriticism, gender, life writing and postcolonial studies, the authors cover the works \u003ci\u003eJanu: The Life Story of C.
