Contextualising Caste : Post-Dumontian Approaches, Paperback / softback Book

Contextualising Caste : Post-Dumontian Approaches Paperback / softback

Edited by Ursula M. Sharma, Mary Searle-Chatterjee

Part of the Sociological Review Monographs series

Paperback / softback

Description

Much anthropological and sociological work on South Asia (especially work done by western academics) takes for granted the centrality of caste in Hindu society.

The aim of the present volume is to take a critical look at this assumption, contextualising caste in relation to other dimensions of modern Indian society.

The contribution of the volume will be both theoretical and ethnographic.
