A Technomoral Politics book cover
I was commissioned by University of Minnesota Press to design the book cover for Aradhana Sharma’s A Technomoral Politics: Good Governance, Transparency, and Corruption in India.
From the publisher:
“Good governance is meant to empower citizens, increase democratic participation, and make states transparent and accountable, yet this liberal democratic imperative can also promote populist authoritarian rule. Bringing together discourses on ethical goodness with the technicalities of governance as expressed in laws and policies, Aradhana Sharma develops the concept of “technomoral politics” to navigate this fraught topic. With a focus on the work of activists, citizens, and state officials, she offers an ethnographic account of the contradictions and dangers of good-governance politics in twenty-first-century India.”
