Sommario/riassunto |
|
One prevalent socio-cultural structure that is peculiar to South Asia is caste, which is broadly understood in socio-anthropological terms as an institution of ranked, hereditary and occupational groups. This book |

|
|
|

|

|
|
|
discusses the enigmatic persistence of caste in the lives of South Asians as they step into the twenty-first century. It investigates the limits of sociological and secular historical analysis of the caste system in South Asia and argues for ways of describing life-forms generated by caste on the subcontinent that supplement the accounts of caste in the social sciences.

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book asks the question, what if there was more to the ghostly fable than meets the eye? What if Washington Irving's legend of Sleepy Hollow was based on fact? Readers will learn long-forgotten lore about the headless spirits that have plagued mankind for centuries, and perhaps even now seek to invade our world. |
