Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Gandhi, with his loincloth and walking stick, seems an unlikely advocate of postmodernism. But in 'Postmodern Gandhi,' Lloyd and Susanne Rudolph portray him as just that in eight thought-provoking essays that aim to correct the common association of Gandhi with traditionalism. Combining core sections of their influential book 'Gandhi: The Traditional Roots of Charisma' with substantial new material, the Rudolphs reveal here that Gandhi was able to revitalize tradition while simultaneously breaking with some of its entrenched values and practices. Exploring his influence both in India and abroad, they tell the story of how in London the young activist was shaped by the antimodern 'other West' of Ruskin, Tolstoy, and Thoreau and how, a generation later, a mature Gandhi's thought and action challenged modernity's hegemony.
