Weaving hierarchies handloom weavers in early twentieth century united provinces
Rai, Santosh Kumar
Weaving hierarchies handloom weavers in early twentieth century united provinces Santosh Kumar Rai - 1st ed. - Delhi Ratna Sagar 2021 - xx, 515 p. ; 24cm.
Includes bibliographies and index
The book explores the modernity/tradition dichotomy as it has been applied and amplified in our understanding of development, demonstrating that some of the categorizations fundamental to these understandings are in fact profoundly misplaced. Indeed, the argument regarding processes of ‘localization’ made here is particularly promising in the sense that it does not posit localization in opposition to but in tandem with global processes. The book explores historically grounded, tension-filled categories like class, caste and community, and perhaps its most significant contribution lies in tracing the history of the Julaha community.
