Self-Development and Social Transformations?

The Vision and Practice of the Self-Study Mobilization of Swadhyaya

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Self-development of individuals and societies is an epochal challenge now but surprisingly very little has been written about this in the vast field of development studies and social sciences. The present book is one of the first efforts in this field and explores in detail the dynamics of pursuits of self-development and the accompanying contradictions in the self-study mobilization called Swadhyaya. Giri is one of the pioneers in bringing self-development to the core of theory and ethnographic multiverse of humanities and development studies.
