Produktbeschreibung
Indian Village is considered as a "classic". It has received immense acclaim since its publication, especially as the first book on a single village in post-Second World War South Asia. The work represents a key statement of the wider shift from tribe to village in Indian anthropology, part of the movement away from studies of "isolated" groups toward writings on contemporary communities in the sociology of the subcontinent. Written in an accessible, intimate manner, this book needs to be understood today as a flagship endeavor of the social sciences in a young, independent India - a study that continues to be generously cited, including as a model monograph, in the disciplines at large.
