Bibliography. Endnotes. Index. Marxist ideology and ethnic identities are usually counterpoised in the mainstream literature. No where has the mutual dynamics and interactions between these two forces been more profound and innovative than in the Soviet Central Asia. This book offers a lucid explanation of this volatile and little understood phenomenon. Dueling Isms concerns the events of Post Soviet Central Asia and on the inter ethnic relations in the Eurasian region where initially after the Soviet disintegration there was a nationalising impulse that threatened the internal harmony of the multi ethnic societies. The book shows how the Soviet Union tried to accommodate national ethnic religious linguistic and regional identities as long as they did not clash with Soviet identity. The work reveals the mechanisms through which the Soviet system even encouraged some of these identities such as the linguistic identity of the Tajiks though these identities had their relative spheres of influences and were subservient to the larger Soviet identity. The book draws attention to the difficulties involved in consolidating national identities in the post Soviet period. Given the centrality of ethnic and Islamist impulses of contemporary times the book is sure to raise curiosity for any one interested in the history and sociology of Soviet Central Asia. 292 pp.…

Hardcover. Condición: New. This book is a quest for tracing down the rich and multifaceted cultural link between India and Tajikistan that remained hidden in the dusty pages of history while flowing through the ages. It appeared as a time travel while tracing down the Indo-Tajik cultural linkages, that are still alive, yet forgotten or unknown and unnoticed in the common knowledge. In fact, the research often needed to address the larger geo-cultural space from South Asia to Central Asia while rediscovering the Indo-Tajik cultural linkages through different art forms. This book largely represents the image of India or 'Hinduston' (local pronunciation in Tajikistan) from the Tajik intellectual and cultural point of view and aspires to contribute an Indian angle towards this multifaceted cultural dialogue as a continuous process. This is further a conscious attempt from Indian perspective, to debunk the common prejudice and misconception about Central Asia, as a difficult neighbour. …

Hardback. Condición: New. An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library.Colonialism created exclusive economic and segregatory social spaces for the exploitation and management of natural and human resources, in the form of plantations, ports, mining towns, hill stations, civil lines and new urban centres for Europeans. Contagion and Enclaves studies the social history of medicine within two intersecting enclaves in colonial India; the hill station of Darjeeling which incorporated the sanitarian and racial norms of the British Raj; and in the adjacent tea plantations of North Bengal, which produced tea for the global market. This book studies the demographic and environmental transformation of the region: the racialization of urban spaces and its contestations, establishment of hill sanatoria, expansion of tea cultivation, labour emigration and the paternalistic modes of healthcare in the plantation. It examines how the threat of epidemics and riots informed the conflictual relationship between the plantations with the adjacent agricultural villages and district towns. It reveals how Tropical Medicine was practised in its 'field'; researches in malaria, hookworm, dysentery, cholera and leprosy were informed by investigations here, and the exigencies of the colonial state, private entrepreneurship, and municipal governance subverted their implementation. Contagion and Enclaves establishes the vital link between medicine, the political economy and the social history of colonialism. It demonstrates that while enclaves were essential and distinctive sites of articulation of colonial power and economy, they were not isolated sites. The book shows that the critical aspect of the enclaves was in their interconnectedness; with other enclaves, with the global economy and international medical research.…

Rabindranath Tagore's Visva-Bharati: a backdrop for his novel Gora? 10. Male discourse, female self and the nation: a study of Gora. 11. Reading Gora: A moment of re-membering Bharatbarsha. Appendices. Index. Gora: A Critical Companion situates Rabindranath Tagore's iconic text in his times and ours, examining contexts that produced it and reasons that make it acutely relevant today. A Critical Companion revisits this foundational text from perspectives as varied and interdisciplinary as textual and genre studies; translation and reception studies; narratology, gender, race and caste studies. It situates Gora within spacio-imaginative configurations such as nation, desh, rashtra, mulk, swadeshi samaj, swaraj, ramrajya, and as engaging with questions of hospitality, philoxenos and xenophobia. It provides new readings with regard to the complex operations of religion and 'formations of the secular' in times of colonial modernity. A Critical Companion is distinctive in providing a translation of Tagore's essay Atmaparichay and Buddhadev Bose's Bangla essay on Gora. It provides a valuable critical support to contemporary readers that approach Tagore from disparate cultural backgrounds, and encourages them to revisit Gora to discover new meanings for these times.…
