Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. As seen in the movie Origins, a classic examination of the lived realities of American racism, now with a new foreword from Pulitzer Prize winner Isabel Wilkerson.   First published in 1941, Deep South is a landmark work of anthropology, documenting in startling and nuanced detail the everyday realities of American racism. Living undercover in Depression-era Mississippi?not revealing their scholarly project or even their association with one another?groundbreaking Black scholar Allison Davis and his White co-authors, Burleigh and Mary Gardner, delivered an unprecedented examination of how race shaped nearly every aspect of twentieth-century life in the United States. Their analysis notably revealed the importance of caste and class to Black and White worldviews, and they anatomized the many ways those views are constructed, solidified, and reinforced. ? This reissue of the 1965 abridged edition, with a new foreword from Pulitzer Prize winner Isabel Wilkerson?who acknowledges the book?s profound importance to her own work?proves that Deep South remains as relevant as ever, a crucial work on the concept of caste and how it continues to inform the myriad varieties of American inequality.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Indian Caste System: A Study by C. Hayavadana Rao is a concise yet important examination of one of India's most enduring social institutions. First published in 1931, the book gathers together leading views of the time to explain how caste arose, how it worked, and what effects it had on society. Rao begins with a historical overview of caste before turning to different theories of its origin. He outlines the Brahmanical explanation rooted in religion and custom, then moves through several influential modern interpretations. These include Nesfield's view of caste as an occupational order, Senart's focus on ritual prohibitions and sacra-mental practices, and Sir Herbert Risley's racial theory linking caste to physical and ethnological differences. Finally, Rao presents what he calls the 'Indian Theory', grounded in indigenous traditions and social developments. Beyond questions of origin, the book examines the far-reaching effects of caste on everyday life its role in shaping identity, regulating social conduct, and maintaining divisions of privilege and exclusion. While cautious in drawing conclusions, Rao emphasizes the importance of continued inquiry. He highlights gaps in evidence and points out directions for further research, stressing that the subject is too large and complex to be closed by any single explanation. Clear, compact, and accessible, this study remains a valuable window into early twentieth-century scholarship on caste. It introduces readers to the major debates, shows how Indian and Western thinkers grappled with the problem, and underscores why caste has remained a central issue in the study of Indian society.…
