Reacting against this dehumanising tendency, Jeremy Seabrook and Imran Ahmed Siddiqui show us the daily life of poor Muslims in India and sheds light on what lies behind India's 'economic miracle'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe authors examine life in Muslim communities in Kolkata, home to some of the most disadvantaged people in India, giving a voice to their views, values and feelings. We see that Muslims are no different from those of other faiths - work, family and survival are the overwhelming preoccupations of the vast majority. Although most are observant in their religion, there is no trace of the malevolence or poverty-fuelled extremism attributed to them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis enlightening and elegantly written book will be of great interest to students and practitioners of development and anyone who wants a more realistic picture of Muslim life and modern India.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Seabrook,Imran Ahmed Siddiqui\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745331130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745331133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Jeremy Seabrook","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065083638015,"sku":"9780745331133","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4bf4c864-5f1f-4e9d-ae8e-6d38d7754511.jpg?v=1768672874","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/people-without-history-jeremy-seabrook-9780745331133","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
