| Title: A Carnival of Parting |
| Author: Ann Grodzing Gold |
| Edition Year: 1992 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Anthropology |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about carnival of parting. It is a richly detailed ethnographic, historical and cultural backdrop. It gives a frank and engaging portrayal of the bard Madhu Nath. It examines the Nath caste and their oral epics traditions as an important stream within North Indian Hinduism, showing how Madhu Nath versions of Bharthari and Gopi Chand well-known tales surface as distinctive moments within complex legendary and historical currents. While embellished with miraculous displays of magical powers and evocative of profound spiritual dedications, the tales translated here are most profoundly concerned, God argues, with human rather than divine realities. |

| Title: African Masks |
| Author: Franco Monti |
| Edition Year: 1966 |
| Cover: Hardback |

| Language: English |
| Abstract: To Western eyes African masks have a sinister, secret life of their own. The astonishing vigour of the carving and the often highly coloured decoration add to the feeling that these masks are more than just tribal regalia. This fascinating book reveals, perhaps for the first time to the ordinary reader, the background of the Negro artist and his place and function in the tribe. It shows how the mask, part of a dance costume, is linked via the public ceremonial life of the tribe. |

| Title: Anthropology |
| Author: William A. Haviland |
| Edition Year: 1982 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Anthropology |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about Anthropology. Anthropologists like all social and behavioral scientists, attempt to understand and explain human behavior. Such an undertaking requires knowledge of human behavior in non-Western as well as Western societies. Because non-Western peoples have been relatively neglected by other social and behavioral scientists, anthropologists have devoted much attention to such peoples. In North America, the rise of anthropology as a field of study was closely linked with the study of North Americans Indians. |

| Title: Asian Informal Workers: Global Risks, Local Protection |
| Author: |
| Edition Year: 2007 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Anthropology |
| Language: English |
| Editedby: Santosh Mehrotra and Mario Biggeri |
| Abstract: This book is a wide ranging survey of the nature and extent of home work in Asia. When industrialization increased pace in the region after decolonization, there was an expectation that the process would result in most of the labour force being employed in formal sector industrial jobs. The reality, after over half-century of development, is that even in the fast-growing economies in Asia, formal employment has grown rather slowly and that most non-agricultural employment growth has occurred in the informal economy. At the same time, there has been a feminization of informal workers and growth in subcontracted homework. It draws on surveys carried out in five Asian countries, two low income like Indian and Pakistan and three middle income like Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines where subcontracted production, usually by women and children working out of home. |

| Author: Simon R. Charsley and G. K. Karanth |
| Edition Year: 1998 |

| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is an important effort to understand the paradoxical situation of the Dalits and to capture the realities at the grassroots. It describes the status of rural untouchable castes and studies their efforts to challenge the daily humiliations they face. They reveal the vitality of Dalit movements and the contribution they are making to reshaping Indian society. By focusing, within a theoretical and comparative framework, on a series of contrasting communities drawn from different regions of Karnataka, it provides a vivid and nuanced account of a section of the Indian population which is too often ignored when it is not grossly misrepresented and misunderstood. |

| Abstract: This book describes the mode of life in a peasant village. A large part of the population of the peninsula of Yucatan dwells in such villages. These villages are small communities of illiterate agriculturalists, carrying on a homogeneous culture transmitted by oral tradition. They differ from the communities of the preliterate tribesman in that they are politically and economically dependent upon the towns and cities of modern literate civilization and that the villagers are well aware of the townsman and city dweller and in part define their position in the world in terms of these. The peasant is a rustic, and he knows it. |

| Title: Colonial Urban Development: Culture, Social Power and Environment |
| Author: Anthony D King |
| Edition Year: 1976 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Anthropology |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: The study focuses on the social and, more especially, the cultural processes governing colonial urban development and develops a theory and methodology to do this. The author demonstrates how the physical and spatial arrangements characterizing urban development indeed, the entire man made environment are the unique products of a particular society, to be understood only in terms of its values, behavior and institutions and the distribution of social and political power within it. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the colonial cities of Asia and Africa where the environmental assumptions of a dominant, industrializing Western power were introduced to largely pre-industrial societies. |

| Title: Community, Empire and Migration: South Asians in Diaspora |
| Author: |
| Edition Year: 2001 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Anthropology |
| Language: English |
| Editedby: Crispin Bates |
| Abstract: This book examines the history, politics and anthropology of migration in India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka as well as in numerous overseas locations where South Asians migrated during and after the colonial period. It addresses the meanings of community and the important and contentious issue of the connections between migrations, problems of identity and ethnic conflict from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. While addressing the role of colonial policies of divide and rule in providing both solidarities and discord, it depicts the very different circumstances in which contemporary South Asian migrants now find themselves, placing particular emphasis on the ways in which migrants have adapted and integrated and the ways in which new forms of post colonial identity have emerged. |

| Language: English |
| Editedby: Heinz Bechert |
| Abstract: This book is about culture of Ceylon in mediaeval times. It present description of the mediaeval culture of Ceylon is in general based on the Mahavamsa. The value of the different parts of the Mahavamsa is different, that composed by Dhammakitti has perhaps mostly the character of an historical chronicle, though in the description of the life and deeds of his favourite hero, had studied as for instance the Kautaliya Arthasastra. The third part of the chronicle which is the source of our knowledge of the last centuries of the medieval period is hardly inferior to the preceding portion, but the exaggeration appear to have increased in comparison with the corresponding passages in work of Dhammakitti. |

| Title: Ethnographic Study of the Kuvi-Kandha |
| Author: Sukumar Banerjee |
| Edition Year: 1969 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Anthropology |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is based on the material collected from a section of the Kandha tribe, known as Kuvi-Kandha, in the Koraput district of Orissa during December, 1965 to February, 1966. The study conducted by Niggemeyer in 1964 among the Kuttia-Kandha, however, indicates the growth of culture as product of the intermingling of tribal groups from the surroundings areas. Author has, therefore, impressed the necessity of collecting fresh data from the other sections of the Kandha to provide corroborative materials. It has not been undertaken to assess the validity of his conclusions but has been done in order to gather some basis line data for comparative study of all the sub-groups of the Kandha culture. |

| Title: Fluid Boundaries: Forming and Transforming Identity in Nepal |
| Author: William F. Fisher |
| Edition Year: 1893 |

| Subject: Anthropology |

| Abstract: This is a notable contribution to the anthropological study of identity formation. Rooted in closely observed and richly contextualized ethnography, it draws theoretical force from the metaphor of the restlessly shape-shifting river-a metaphor that allows anthropologist and local people to come together in a shared perception of the complex and sometimes mutually contradictory traditionalizing processes that are ironically a defining feature of modernity. |

| Abstract: This book is about Gandhian Utopia. The complete disappearance of the utopian element from human thought and action would mean that human nature and human development would take on a totally new character, after a long, tortuous but heroic development, just at the highest stage of awareness, when history is ceasing to be blind fate and is becoming more and more own creation of man, with the relinquishment of utopias, man would lose his will to shape history and therewith his ability to understand it. |

| Title: Gender and Space: Femininity, Sexualization and the Female Body |
| Author: Seemanthini Niranjana |
| Edition Year: 2001 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Anthropology |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: Straddling the domains of anthropology and gender studies, it explores the conjunction of space and gender in the practices and discourses of femininity and sexuality. It demonstrates how socio-spatial considerations inform the bodily practices of women in a range of diurnal contexts. Eschewing a monographic format, it waves together conceptual and ethnographic narratives in order to elaborate a theory of gender and space. It maintains that there is a relative lack of theorizations on the spatial basis of social life in the domains of sociology and anthropology and a reluctance to conceptualize the body more fully in gender studies. |

| Title: Gendering Orientalism: Race, Feminity and Representation |
| Author: Reina Lewis |
| Edition Year: 1996 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Anthropology |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: In contrast to most cultural histories of imperialism, which analyse Orientalist images of rather than by women, Gendering Orientalism focuses on how women themselves contributed. Drawing on the little-known work of Henriette Browne, other lost women Orientalist artists and the literary works of George Eliot, the author challenges masculinist assumptions relating to the stability and homogeneity of the Orientalist gaze. This book argues that women did not have straight forward access to an implicitly male position of Western superiority. It argues for a more complex understanding of womens role in imperial culture and discourse. |

| Title: Genderscapes: Revisionong Natural Resource Management |
| Author: Sumi Krishna |
| Edition Year: 2009 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Anthropology |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: Why does gender bias persist in natural resource management policies and programmes, despite increasing recognition of rural and tribal womens contribution to conservation and sustainability? Examining this question from the perspective of an academic and a practitioner, Sumi Krishna looks at diverse areas including the socialization of attitudes, the shaping of community ideologies, and the construction of discipline and research methodologies. This book probes the instrumental approach of large official programmers that exploit women under the guides of empowerment, as also the potential and limitations of NGO interventions. With fresh insights into policy making and institutional practices, Sumi Krishna argues that womens economic and livelihood needs cannot be separated from their socio-political interests, and that resource management cannot be transformed without collective struggles for social and gender collective struggles for social and gender justice. |

| Edition Year: 1962 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Anthropology |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book is about Gopalpur and it is an Indian Village. The problems of life in Gopalpur are understandable. From the Western point view, the ways in which they are solved seem strange. How do wrestling matches between young men from different villages in the Gopalpur area help make social and economic relations between villages smoother? Why is the preferred martial partner daughter of sister one or cross cousin? What useful purpose can the salt makers caste serve when salt makers make on salt? How are the strong forces making for competition and conflict in Gopalpur contained and controlled, so that crucial areas of cooperation are not destroyed? Why should people who live in simple, relatively unchanging village, see life as a blooming, buzzing confusion? It gives some of the many questions answered in this case study that make it fascinating reading. |

| Abstract: This book deplored the relative lack of systematic and scientific study of Indian peoples and cultures. Knowledge of the peoples and cultures may be regarded as a prerequisite for an efficient administrative system and strategy of development. The policy of the British development with respect to the tribal population was rooted in the economic and political climate of the age. The Lepchas are one among the scores of weaker tribes which are conspicuously missing from the tribal map of India. In the schemes of linguistic, occupational and territorial classifications, the Lepchas have not found mention. |

| Abstract: What are some of the major Hindu ideas and traditions that have shaped the dominant conceptions of womanhood, domesticity, wifeliness, mothering and India as a Hindu nation? This book examines literary and social traditions, elite voices and popular culture - the rhetoric and the ground realities which have together, through complex historical processes, created the lived reality of north India today. This book is a brilliant historicization and scathing critique of many of the dominant concepts by which Indians generally, and north Indian Hindus more specifically, think and live today. Historians, sociologists, political scientists and serious readers who wish to understand how the immediate past has shaped Indias life will value this incisive work of a major historian. |

| Abstract: While the word hippie has now been in general use both by the man-in-the-street, as well as in journalese, it is evident that no serious sociological effort has yet been made to place the people implied by that word into a proper perspective, considering their view of themselves and their basic, inalienable characteristics, habits and customs, all of which stem form a world-view which is typified by the word, Hippie. The effort in this introduction to the subject will be to delineate clearly the properties of personality that leads to a person being recognized by himself as well as others as a person specifically belonging to a certain kind of community which has these characteristics in common, hence can be typified by the word, Hippie. |

| Author: Robert Desjarlais |
| Edition Year: 2003 |
| Cover: Paperback |
| Subject: Anthropology |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: The graceful ethnography of Robert Desjarlais reveals by example that the senses are a valuable and underutilized key to deciphering a culture.

These two are a woman in her late eighties known as Kisang Omu and a Buddhist priest in his mid-eighties known as Ghang Lama. Desjarlais has spent a great deal of time with them and other Yolmo was, an ethnically Tibetan Buddhist people, now numbering several thousand, whose ancestors have lived for three centuries or so along the upper ridges of the Yolmo Valley in north-central Nepal. |

| Title: Shingu: A Study of Japanese Fishing Community |
| Author: Arne Kalland |
| Edition Year: 1981 |

Although Japan is the largest fishing nation in the world, this book is the first to appear in English focusing on the composition and role performance of the crews and larger net-groups. |

| Title: Stonehenge of the Kings: A People Appear |
| Author: Patrick Grampton |
| Edition Year: 1967 |
| Cover: Hardback |
| Subject: Anthropology |
| Language: English |
| Abstract: This book continues to baffle mankind and to intrigue scholars and cranks anxious to solve its enigma. Apart from its Druidical associations it has been thought of as a cathedral of ancient days and even a prehistoric computer. It is a trained archaeologist and a member of the council of Berkshire Archaeological society. It put forward in an exciting and heterodox theory that Stonehenge was the headquarters of a warrior society, a place of kings and heroes, of the kind portrayed in Iliad of Homer. |
