This volume documents how families, communities and some groups
(single men, young 'scarce' women, parents) adapt and adjust to
recent demographic shifts in China and India. It discusses how
demographic change interacts with other processes of change,
including changes with respect to economic development and
globalization, gender, class, caste, families, migration and work.
The chapters offer micro-level analyses contextualized in larger
processes of change and push further existing understandings of the
consequences of the demographic imbalance between men and women in
China and/or India, particularly from a gender perspective. As such
this book will be of interest to scholars and students in
population studies, sociology, international development, gender
studies, and Asian studies.

This open access book is based on a multi-country collaborative
research project focussing on Canada, China, India, and Indonesia.
It responds directly and concretely to concerns about the
generational sustainability of smallholder farming worldwide–
reflected in the current UN Decade of Family
Farming.  Drawing on research that asks how (some)
young people continue to pursue a (future) livelihood in farming,
the book uses the life-course perspective and privileges voices of
young farmers to show that movement away from farming such as time
spent in education, migration and non-farm work does not exclude
eventual farming futures. The book will be of interest to scholars
and students of agrarian studies, anthropology, development
studies, gender studies, human geography, rural sociology, and
youth studies.
South Asia is well known for its vibrant visual culture, with a
rich artistic tradition that stretches back over two millennia.
Traditional Arts of South Asia: continuity in contemporary
patronage and practice examines the challenges of modernity to the
development, understanding and practice of the traditions of
architecture, sculpture, textiles and paintings of South Asia in
the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Included are studies of
traditions of art in India and Sri Lanka in the context of the
nineteenth century British Arts & Crafts Movement; the
production and consumption of block-printed cloth and other
textiles in western India; the impact of modern technology on the
mass reproduction of Hindu imagery; tradition and innovation in the
practice of bronze-casting and temple painting in south India; and
the patronage and design of religious architecture, both Hindu and
Islamic, in modern South Asia. The papers included are by a
distinguished group of eleven scholars and practitioners of
traditional arts from India, Pakistan, Britain and the United
States.
