RESOURCES
Resources, as a space for M-O.net intends to house readings and other material that is not created by us but has helped us develop our understanding and critique of our politics, lives and experiences, and so we would like to share it with you too.
We would also like to emphasise that what is being shared here is not sacrosanct, the sharing is meant to build knowledge based on existing writings and personal stories and experiences.
We will continue to add and update resources here but we believe that for this space to truly mature into sort of a ‘library’, we will need support from you. Please feel free to contribute by sending us suggestions, links and feedback on malaroli.net@gmail.com
