The Post-Human Society is a rich, unique, path-breaking,
belletristic and literary 'crie de coeur' work - a lyrical expose
of all the internal infelicities (social, political, aesthetic) of
the United States of America. In its vivid contrasting of the mores
of competition, avarice, and greed to communitarian, co-respecting
and co-operative values, it abounds with colorful, vibrant,
breathtaking images and tropes. Utilizing a novel, First Person
Narrative, the author Rajani Kanth offers a poignant critique of
the rabid, runaway materialism that has been the bane of all
modernist, European societies, to date. It is evocative in its
approach to the fading genre of the iconic anthropology/sociology
classics of the yesteryear. Ultimately, it is a critique of the
ruling ethos of our times: Eurocentrism - i.e., selfish and
acquisitive materialism, of which the contemporary USA is the
trend-setter and the unchallenged gold standard. DR. RAJANI KANTH
has an MA in Social Anthropology from the Delhi School of
Economics, India, and a PhD in Economics from the New School for
Social Research, New York, USA. After serving as Economic Advisor
to the UN in New York, he taught as University Professor, and is
currently based at Harvard University.
