This is one of the earliest books to present a collection of
writings on the effects of globalization on India and Indian
society. The very concept of globalization needs critical
examination, and one productive approach is to focus specifically
on the local impacts of globalization in its various guises through
comparative ethnographic investigations. Such research also permits
examination of the relative significance of globalization, as
opposed to national, regional or local factors of change that may
actually be more salient. Assayag and Fuller have assembled a team
of eminent academics, who present a series of critical discussions
about important issues of economy and agriculture, education and
language, and culture and religion, based on ethnographic case
studies from different localities in India. This challenging
collection also includes a major study of the history of
globalization and India that sets current trends in
perspective.
