Soft cover. Zustand: New. This unusual book extends the concerns of anthropology beyond the study of village life, rituals and caste observances to include considerations of the nation- state. Dipankar Gupta employs the analytical framework of the concept of culture combined with practical examples from everyday life to interpret governance, citizenship and fraternity. He concludes that ostensibly political institutions have in fact deep cultural roots. Professor Gupta argues that the significance of culture lies in the fact that it informs the way people interact with each other in defined spaces. The nation-state being one such space, it should therefore be seen as an important cultural phenomenon and not merely as lineaments on a map. Only when the nation-state is understood as a cultural phenomenon can the passions it arouses be better understood. The book is divided into two parts, the first is based on the premise that only in a defined space can there be a clear conception of cultural membership. This conceptualization is then extended to include cultural membership of the nation- state and the territorial space such membership connotes. Part One concludes that as nation-states are bound by strong sentiments of identity they are best understood as cultural phenomena. However, these sentiments need to be buttressed by structures of governance which bring people together by keeping alive the principles of citizenship and fraternity. Part Two uses examples from daily life to examine the phenomena of citizenship, civil society, fraternity, reservation and protecting minorities in the light of the above conceptualization. With its unique approach to the study of the nation-state and its strong analytical and theoretical bases, this book will be of immense interest to sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists and those in the fields of cultural studies and the study of social systems. It will also serve as a text or supplementary reading for students in these disciplines.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Relying on many years of fieldwork and on his involvement with several national level policy making bodies, the author presents a cultural interpretation of how public life and state interventions in India should be viewed. While commending statistical interventions in governmental decision making, he detects a marked deficiency in the understanding of how cultural factors impress upon and condition economic life. Towards this end, Dipankar Gupta interrogates anti-poverty drives, labour relations, election studies and, in this process, provides a novel and helpful guide towards resolving the vexing relationship between the domains of the public and the private. In all of this, the sociological antenna is constantly at work, beeping helpful signals on how one might untangle knotty issues in public life. More than anything else, this book urges policy makers to be self-consciously inter-subjective in their approach and this is where sociology can make its mark. The Appendix too provides a medley of situations where cultural sensitivity and the discipline of sociology prove their worth in figuring out fresh ways to resolve outstanding problems in our country.…

Black and white illustrations and maps, viii + 186pp, index, bibliography, index, a very good copy. The book explores how Muslims in Mumbai and Ahmedabad coped with the aftermath of the violence directed against them in 1993 and 2002 respectively, and how they responded to the ethnic carnages of which they were the victims, highlighting the importance of the context and the history of the place where such violence occurred. Unlike other studies on ethnic violence which have a short-term focus, in dealing with its immediate aftermath, this book examines what happens to the victims over time and how they negotiate a 'new normal' and get on with their lives. Using empirical material based on field work in Mumbai and Ahmedabad, the book shows that while poverty, education and employment remain important elements in the recovery process, the most crucial issue is that of justice and the need to reclaim citizenship. A significant section of the book is devoted to the relationship between Muslim faith-based organisations and the victims of ethnic violence.…
