In \u003ci\u003eJugaad Time\u003c\/i\u003e Amit S. Rai explores how jugaad operates within contemporary Indian digital media cultures through the use of the mobile phone. Rai shows that despite being co-opted by capitalism to extract free creative labor from the workforce, jugaad is simultaneously a practice of everyday resistance, as workers and communities employ hacks to oppose corporate, caste, and gender power. Locating the tensions surrounding jugaad--as both premodern and postdigital, innovative and oppressive--Rai maps how jugaad can be used to undermine neoliberal capitalist media ecologies and nationalist politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amit S.
