Description

This Routledge book explores self-fashioning and modernity amongst low-caste Chamars in north India, offering a fresh analytical framework grounded in political economy. Rather than viewing modernity through Western colonial or non-colonial lenses, the author argues that subaltern classes actively shape their own ideas about modernity by selectively adopting and rejecting models from other classes within their national context. The work challenges conventional accounts of national modernity in the non-West by centring South Asian perspectives and lived experiences. Firmly situated within rigorous political and economic analysis, this book provides important insights into how marginalised communities construct modern identities on their own terms. The used copy is in good condition and offers an affordable way to access this significant contribution to anthropology and sociology scholarship.

Key Features

Retro-modern India examines low-caste Chamar communities through an original political economy framework specific to north Indian contexts.

The book challenges Western-centric analyses of modernity by prioritising subaltern perspectives and how non-Western classes define their own modern identities.

This Routledge publication offers rigorous scholarly analysis suitable for students and researchers in anthropology, sociology and South Asian studies.

Used book in good condition provides economical access to an important work on identity formation and social transformation in India.
