My Seditious Heart gathers the work of a two-decade period when Arundhati Roy devoted herself to the political essay as a way of creating space for justice, rights, and freedoms in an increasingly hostile world. It is bookended by her two award-winning novels, The God of Small Things (1997) and The Ministry of Utmost Happiness (2017). When read as a whole, the writings convey a singular spirit that is characterised by daring, clarity, and compassion. They are radical and incredibly readable, and they consistently speak out against the divisive logic of the financial, social, religious, military, and governmental elites on behalf of the group, the individual, and the land.
