Vinayak Chaturvedi's analysis provides an important intervention in the social and cultural history of India by examining the nature of peasant discourses and practices during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Through rigorous archival study and fieldwork, Chaturvedi shows that peasants in Gujarat were active in the production and circulation of political ideas, establishing critiques of the state and society while promoting complex understandings of political community. By turning to the heartland of M.K. Gandhi's support, Chaturvedi shows that the vast majority of peasants were opposed to nationalism in the early decades of the twentieth century. He argues that nationalists in Gujarat established power through the use of coercion and violence, as they imagined a nation in which they could dominate social relations. Chaturvedi suggests that this little told story is necessary to understand not only anticolonial nationalism but the direction of postcolonial nationalism as well.DharalasHistory19th centuryHistoriographyDharalasHistory20th centuryHistoriographyDharalasPolitical activityDharalasSocial conditions19th centuryDharalasSocial conditions20th centuryNationalismIndiaGujaratHistoriography19th century indian culture.19th century indian history.20th century indian culture.20th century indian history.anticolonial nationalism.asian history.coercion.colonialism.demographic studies.diplomacy.government and governing.gujarat.india.indian colonialism.indian history.interdisciplinary.nationalism.peasant politics.peasants.political community.political ideas.politics.social history.social relations.state formation.villages.violence.western india.DharalasHistoryHistoriography.DharalasHistoryHistoriography.DharalasPolitical activity.DharalasSocial conditionsDharalasSocial conditionsNationalismHistoriography.305.5/6309547Chaturvedi Vinayak1479211MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784420003321Peasant pasts3695220UNINA02635nam 2200565 450 991079227880332120230725022756.01-56699-625-2(CKB)2560000000148248(EBL)1674106(SSID)ssj0001183473(PQKBManifestationID)12512307(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001183473(PQKBWorkID)11204931(PQKB)10972294(MiAaPQ)EBC1674106(Au-PeEL)EBL1674106(CaPaEBR)ebr11143323(OCoLC)881165408(EXLCZ)99256000000014824820160127h20112011 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrScattering seeds cultivating church vitality /Stephen Chapin Garner with Jerry ThornellHerndon, Virginia :Alban Institute,2011.©20111 online resource (246 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-56699-422-5 Contents; Foreword; Preface; Part I: Tilling; Preparing a Pastor; Preparing a Congregation; Part II: Scattering Seeds; Soil, Climate, and the Mystery of Growth; A Vital Theology; Part III: Tending Growth; Ministry Teams; The Ministry of the Laity; The Ministry of the Pastor; Worship and Education for All; Part IV: Harvesting; Service to Others; Evaluating Success with an Eye to the Future; NotesIn Scattering Seeds: Cultivating Church Vitality, Stephen Chapin Garner and Jerry Thornell share the story of their home congregation, the United Church of Christ in Norwell, MA. This average congregation has approached congregational life in a not-so-average way. Each congregant is seen as a minister, bringing the good news of Christ to the community; the church has moved away from boards and committees, instead utilizing the people to form ministry teams; and they have revitalized the way they approach and practice worship and education.
