What is Communism in Kerala : a study in political adaptation about?

Nossiters work provides the first full-length treatment of Kerala, comparable to Frandas account of West Bengal. Nossiter made four visits to Kerala between 1970 and 1977 and bases his work on a wide range of official and party documents, English and local language newspapers, interviews, census information, survey data, and an original analysis of election results presented in both map and statistical form.
