Soft cover. Zustand: New. Anthropological Perspectives on Indian Tribes provides a lucid yet critical reading on the Indian tribes in their historical and political contexts. It attempts to introduce the young reader to a view of tribes that goes beyond many of the commonly understood concepts and prejudices that are set deep in the popular idea of 'tribe'. Through ethnographic examples and engagement with theoretical works, knowledge and theories about tribes are explored within the broad categories of kinship, religion, subsistence, law and politics. Students will learn: that definitions and concepts of 'tribe' are not absolute, but need to be interpreted in their historical and political contexts; how classifications such as 'primitive', 'backward' and 'isolated' are stereotypes, which have informed the thinking of not only citizens, but also of policymakers; and that 'tribes' are not relics of the past, but exist as living, contemporary social entities. This comprehensive work on Indian tribes provides a theoretical understanding of the diverse world views that govern the functioning of tribal societies. Providing insights into ground-level situations that may contribute to a better governance of tribal populations, it will encourage students of sociology and social anthropology to develop a critical and analytical attitude towards the discipline.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. Introduction. 1. Men as nature and women as culture: women s work and reproduction of a pastoral community on the Himalayan Borders/Subhadra Mitra Channa. 2. Farming the edges: women s natural resource management on small farms in Eastern Kentucky/Ann Kingsolver. 3. A feminist look at women, fishing and coastal communities in Tanzania/Marilyn Porter. 4.

Women s collective action and sustainable water management: case of SEWA s water campaign in Gujarat/Smita Mishra Panda. 7. Conceptual and theoretical perspectives on global apartheid, environmental injustice and women s activism for sustainable well-being/Faye V. Harrison. This volume brings together contributions from different parts of the world to show the multiple ways in which women manage their resources, while simultaneously providing for their families. The essays, based on recent anthropological research in diverse societies across ecological zones-the Himalayan border, Kentucky (USA), Tanzania, Norway, and Gujarat-deal with issues of knowledge management, social control and hierarchy, responses during disasters, and the values placed on women s work. Gender is the most pervasive of inequalities, and women are the most disadvantaged group. The ethnographic sketches presented here show how women negotiate adversity: they trade their bodies; put in extra labour for smaller returns; exchange and collect items that men do not consider worthwhile; form cooperatives, and join micro-credit savings systems. The essays focus on a concept of development that incorporates ideas of justice and human rights, and a gendered perspective helps to identify areas often ignored in formal economic analysis. Providing important lessons for environmental management, Gender, Livelihood and Environment takes a close look at how women, who have traditionally been assigned the tasks of preservation, eke out their survival through sustainable means. This book will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Environmental Studies, Cultural Anthropology, Gender and Women s Studies, Sociology and Economics. It will also provide useful resource material for institutions and NGOs that deal with environmental management, resource management, gender issues and planning and development.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. This book re-examines some of the theoretical debates centring on culture and its manifestations in the material world; that is also perceived as gendered. The papers presented here examine the variety of manifestations of the concepts of materialism and take a critical look at the notion of an object, showing that object is a manifestation and a construct, both symbolic and rooted in praxis. The body itself, as well as various acts and actions songs, dance and folklore have their own rationale of being material and gendered. The material can form a signifier for negotiation of space and contestation of authority as well as a tool to contest social inequality.The papers describe different cultures, historical contexts and cover a wide range of what is meant by material, culture and gender. The range of topics is wide from devdasis to school textbooks, from folk songs, crafts, fashion and dance to prehistoric finds and museums. The approaches are mostly phenomenological, historical and symbolic.The book will be of immense interest to scholars and students of gender, anthropology, sociology, museum studies and cultural studies. It may also engage the attention of the historians, the political scientists and prove interesting to the lay reader as well. (jacket).…
