The book explores the pattern of rural development in
contemporary India from a multidisciplinary and historical
perspective. The essays overcome the limits of disciplinary
approaches to provide a comprehensive analysis of the processes of
change and growth at work in the Indian countryside and to review
the social and cultural dynamics that have led to the contemporary
situation. Providing an analysis of the economic, political and
social changes experienced in rural India, they examine the
interactions between actors and institutions at different levels.
Some contributions focus on the impact of state policies on rural
development and on the rationale of capitalistic expansion in the
Indian countryside, while others analyse how the changes are
promoted, adopted and resisted at the local level.
The general issue raised in the book refers to the assessment of
the nature and working of contemporary Indian rural economy. In
order to analyse the complexity of the rural economy and the forms
it takes in different Indian contexts, this issue has been
deconstructed considering, in turn, the process of rural change,
the impact of rural growth on working and living conditions, and
finally the categories of the inhabitants of rural areas and the
construction of their identities in colonial and post-colonial
rural India.
