Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Contents Acknowledgements. 1. Introduction Saffron demography and the common wisdom. 2. We five our twenty five myths of population out of control in contemporary India. 3. A uniform customary code. Marital breakdown and women's economic entitlements. 4. Engendering communalism everyday and institutional aspects of gender and community. Afterword. Bibliography. Drawing on over 20 years of field level research in rural Uttar Pradesh these essays challenge Hindutva myths about Muslims in India. Communalist discourses often portray Muslims as backward because of Purdah polygamy illiteracy high fertility and low women's status. The authors highlight the falsity and perniciousness of such negative stereotypes. Pointing to the danger of reifying and rigidifying these contrasts between Hindus and Muslims they draw out parallels and similarities between them for example in domestic and gender politics to argue that Muslim women are not especially oppressed. Moreover those differences that remain are compounded and exaggerated by Muslims minority position in India and their marginalisation for example in relation to health services and to education. These revised and up dated essays address these general issues through the examples of fertility women's status and the obstacles to movements that might redress these problems. 162 pp.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Contents: 1. Introduction. 2. The political economy of Uttar Pradesh. 3. Masculinity on a shoestring?: the cultural production of education. 4. From canefield to campus and back again: the social strategies of educated jats. 5. Dalit revolution? new politicians in Uttar Pradesh. 6. Muslims' strategies in an age of insecurity. 7. Down and out in Nangal and Qaziwala: the cultural politics of resentment. 8. Conclusions. Bibliography. Index. "Education, Unemployment and Masculinities in India re-evaluates debates on education, modernity, and social change in contemporary development studies and anthropology. Education is widely imputed with the capacity to transform the prospects of the poor. But in the context of widespread unemployment in rural north India, it is better understood as a contradictory resource, providing marginalized youth with certain freedoms but also drawing them more tightly into systems of inequality. The book advances this argument through detailed case studies of educated but unemployed or underemployed young men in rural western Uttar Pradesh. This book draws on fourteen months' ethnographic research with young men from middle caste Hindu, Muslim, and ex-Untouchable backgrounds. In addition to offering a new perspective on how education affects the rural poor in South Asia, Education, Unemployment and Masculinities in India includes in-depth reflection on the politics of modernity, changing rural masculinities, and caste and communal politics.".…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. India In Edinburgh: 1750s to the present, as the title suggests, is an extremely fascinating book. The Editor of the volume, Roger Jeffery has brought together 10 original, well-researched and well-written essays which bring to life the presence of India in the capital city of Scotland, Edinburgh. On the surface Edinburgh is a purely Scottish city: its 'India' past is not easily visible. Yet, from the late 17th century onwards, many of Edinburgh's young men and women were drawn to India. The city received back money and knowledge, sculpture and paintings, botanical specimens and even skulls! Colonel James Skinner, well-known for establishing Skinner's Horse, brought his sons to Edinburgh for their schooling. Though Sir Walter Scott visited India only in his imagination (and tried to stop his own sons going there) he crafted a dashing India tale involving Tipu Sultan. The money from India helped create Edinburgh's New Town, Edinburgh's internationally-renowned schools (whose former pupils careers ranged from tea-planters to Viceroys) and people who came to Edinburgh from India established Edinburgh's second women's medical college. There are many such hidden stories of Edinburgh's India connections. In this path-breaking book they are brought to life, using novel approaches to look at Edinburgh's past, to see it as an imperial city, a city for which India held a special place. Focussing on the interactions between individual lives, social networks and financial, material, cultural and social flows, leading experts from Edinburgh's history provide fascinating detail on how Edinburgh's links to India were formed and transformed.…
