{"product_id":"caste-society-and-politics-in-susan-bayly-9780521798426","title":"Caste, Society and Politics in India from the Eighteenth Century to the Modern Age","description":"The phenomenon of caste has probably aroused more controversy than any other aspect of Indian life. This volume explores the emergence of ideas and practices that gave rise to the so-called \"caste-society.\" Using a historical and anthropological approach, the author frames her analysis in the context of India's economic and social order, interpreting caste as a contingent and variable response to changes in India's political landscape through the colonial conquest. The book's wide-ranging analysis offers one of the most powerful statements ever written on caste in South Asia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Bayly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521798426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521798426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.99d","brand":"Susan Bayly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981010829567,"sku":"9780521798426","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e2ac5f38-094f-4494-b025-3b935f7ce35a.jpg?v=1683253171","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/caste-society-and-politics-in-susan-bayly-9780521798426","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
