Policy analysts predict a radical change in the industrial sector; at present, the U.S. government spends nearly 2 billion annually on nanotechnology research and development. Yet the nanotechnology revolution is not straightforward.

It seeks to investigate the structure and modalities of the broader social contexts and parameters underpinning how these identities are constructed and rationalized. The identities African immigrants depict are transnational, resilient, enterprising, altruistic, and based upon a yearning desire for economic opportunities and total incorporation in global affairs. Their migratory identities are structured to finding solutions to ameliorate the myriad of pressing issues facing Africa. 606 $aTransnationalism$zAfrica 606 $aAfrican diaspora 606 $aEthnicity$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xEmigration and immigration 615 0$aTransnationalism 615 0$aAfrican diaspora. 615 0$aEthnicity 676 $a305.896 700 $aArthur$b John A.$f1958-$01475503 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785319003321 996 $aAfrican diaspora identities$93689715 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02974nam 2200649 450 001 9910790552503321 005 20200903223051.0 010 $a90-04-25485-4 024 7 $a10.1163/9789004254855 035 $a(CKB)2550000001117960 035 $a(EBL)1400627 035 $a(OCoLC)858653366 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001001542 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11541203 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001001542 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10966534 035 $a(PQKB)10976238 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1400627 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789004254855 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1400627 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10764669 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL518306 035 $a(PPN)184916356 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001117960 100 $a20130625h20132013 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aBeyond caste $eidentity and power in South Asia, past and present /$fby Sumit Guha 210 1$aLeiden :$cBrill,$d[2013] 210 4$dİ2013 215 $a1 online resource (256 p.) 225 1 $aBrill's Indological library,$x0925-2916 ;$vvolume 44 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a90-04-24918-4 311 $a1-299-87055-4 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aFront Matter -- Governing Caste: The Study of State Power and Ethnic Rank in South Asia -- The Birth of Caste -- Territorial Power: The Spatial Dimension of Social Organization -- The Political Economy of Village Life -- A Locus of Sociopolitical Organization: The Household -- Ruling, Identifying, and Counting: Knowledge and Power in Eighteenth-Century India -- Empires, Nations, and the Politics of Ethnic Identity, c. 1800?2000 -- Afterword -- Bibliography -- Index. 330 $aCaste' is today almost universally perceived as an ancient and unchanging Hindu institution preserved solely by a deep-seated religious ideology. Yet the word itself is an importation from sixteenth-century Europe. This book tracks the long history of the practices amalgamated under this label and shows their connection to changing patterns of social and political power down to the present. It frames caste as an involuted and complex form of ethnicity and explains why it persisted under non-Hindu rulers and in non-Hindu communities across South Asia. 410 0$aBrill's Indological library ;$vv. 44. 606 $aGroup identity$zSouth Asia$xHistory 606 $aCaste$zSouth Asia$xHistory 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zSouth Asia$xHistory 615 0$aGroup identity$xHistory. 615 0$aCaste$xHistory. 615 0$aPower (Social sciences)$xHistory. 676 $a305.5/1220954 700 $aGuha$b Sumit$01170678 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790552503321 996 $aBeyond caste$93844794 997 $aUNINA
