Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. First Indian Paperback Edition. Permanent Black / Ravi Dayal, 2000. Trade Paperback. First Indian Paperback Edition. No additional printings listed. Near Fine. Interior pristine. Spine straight, tight and uncreased. Rear cover has sticker from Giggles Bookshop and three-inch crease at bottom edge. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. 393 pages. An ethnography in narrative form. Combining shrewd observations with painstaking historical research, Ghosh serves up skeptics and holy men, merchants and sorcerers. Some of these figures are real, some imaginary, but all emerge as vividly as the characters in a great novel. In an Antique Land is an inspired work that transcends genres as deftly as it does eras, weaving an entrancing and intoxicating spell. The book contains two narratives. The first, an anthropological narrative, revolves around two visits made by Ghosh to two villages in the Nile Delta, while he was writing his doctoral dissertation (1980?81) and again a few years later (1988). In the second narrative, presented parallel to the first, Ghosh reconstructs the lives of a 12th-century Jewish merchant and his slaves.

Dirks, Nicholas B. Castes of mind: colonialism and the making of modern India. Delhi: Permanent Black, by arrangement with Princeton University Press, 2006, 3d impression, 372pp., PAPERBACK, fresh attractive copy, appears unued. When thinking of India, it is hard not to think of caste. In academic and common parlance alike, caste has become a central symbol for India, marking it as fundamentally different from other places while expressing its essence. Nicholas Dirks argues that caste is, in fact, neither an unchanged survival of ancient India nor a single system that reflects a core cultural value. Rather than a basic expression of Indian tradition, caste is a modern phenomenon--the product of a concrete historical encounter between India and British colonial rule. Dirks does not contend that caste was invented by the British. But under British domination caste did become a single term capable of naming and above all subsuming India's diverse forms of social identity and organization. 9788178240725 ISBN 8178240726.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. How has Indias economy fared over the first seventy-years of the countrys independence? More specifically, how has Indias economic journey impacted the life of the Indian citizen? Have the various economic measures and reforms since 1947 improved or worsened matters for the people? These are the core issues addressed within this concise and accessible book. Given Indias large population, there has always been great interest internationally in the steps taken to shape the countrys economy and its consequent advance. The country, says Pulapre Balakrishnan, has undoubtedly progressed. It is now self-sufficient in food, industrially capable, and globally recognised for its software services. Written by a professional economist with impeccable academic credentials, this invigorating short account illuminates Indias economic journey since 1947 while arguing persuasively for an appreciation of its human dimension.
