The Poison in the Gift: Ritual, Prestation, and the Dominant Caste in a North Indian Village - Hardcover
Inhaltsangabe
The Poison in the Gift is a detailed ethnography of gift-giving in a North Indian village that powerfully demonstrates a new theoretical interpretation of caste. Introducing the concept of ritual centrality, Raheja shows that the position of the dominant landholding caste in the village is grounded in a central-peripheral configuration of castes rather than a hierarchical ordering. She advances a view of caste as semiotically constituted of contextually shifting sets of meanings, rather than one overarching ideological feature. This new understanding undermines the controversial interpretation advanced by Louis Dumont in his 1966 book, Homo Hierarchicus, in which he proposed a disjunction between the ideology of hierarchy based on the "purity" of the Brahman priest and the "temporal power" of the dominant caste or the king.

Von der hinteren Coverseite
This monograph is a study of the semiotic aspects of giving and receiving, len-den as it is called, in the Hindi-speaking region of northern India. It is based on eighteen months of fieldwork, carried out mostly in the village of Panhansu, from September 1977 to March 1979. More specifically, it is a study of the way in which three important aspects of intercaste and kinship relations--aspects that I have called centrality and mutuality, as well as hierarchy--are differentially foregrounded and implemented in the contexts of the giving and receiving of particular named prestations.
