Guilmoto, Alain VaguetPondichéry Institut Français de Pondichéry20211 online resource (256 p.) Collection Sciences Sociales81-8470-097-0 Indian territory, from regional to local level, remains a fundamentally composite space, divided into varying segments of more homogeneous appearance. Closer analysis shows that these segments are themselves subdivided and that spaces and resources are unequally shared and often disputed among social groups. The chapters in this volume, each in its own way, illustrate the ubiquity of oppositions running across the regions, irrespective of the level of analysis chosen. The resulting image of India is that of a complex and fast evolving system characterized by strong social and historical Patterning as well as extensive spatial recombination. This collection of essays, first published in France in 1997 and based on abundant cartographic materials, brings together a selection of studies by geographers and other social scientists on India, covering a large variety of topics : population dynamics, rural-urban linkages, spatial discrimination, health issues, minorities, etc. These varied research interests open a large number of areas related to spatial organization in India, integrating demographic, economic and anthropological questions and illustrate the relevance of an informed geographical perspective for the study of social transformation in India. The authors would readily agree on the modesty which these essays are bound to evidence, so rich and embedded is the fabric of Indian space. Readers henceforth have more material to form, in their turn, new images reflecting contemporary India and its transitional geography.DemographyUrban StudiesurbanisationIndiaspacehealthpopulationminoritydemographywomangeographycartographyIndeespacesantéminoritédémographiefemmegéographiecartographieurbanisationIndiaspacehealthpopulationminoritydemographywomangeographycartographyDemographyUrban StudiesurbanisationIndiaspacehealthpopulationminoritydemographywomangeographycartographyIndeespacesantéminoritédémographiefemmegéographiecartographieAtkins Peter J1304622Boquérat Gilles253621Chapman Graham P1304623Chappuis Anne1304624de Golbéry Luc1304625Dupont Véronique1241042Eliot Emmanuel1300149Guetat-Bernard Hélène692188Guilmoto Christophe Z1304626Kumar Naresh759300Landy Frédéric426831Leclerc Eric1304627Louiset-Vaguet Odette1304628Pathak Pushpa275541Racine Jean-Luc1233779Raju Saraswati1168300Rihouey Florence1304629Townsend J G1304630Vaguet Alain273553Véron Jacques368526Guilmoto Christophe Z541767Vaguet Alain273553FR-FrMaCLEBOOK9910498500703321Essays on population and space in India3027561UNINA
