Asian Lives in Anthropological Perspective
Essays on Morality, Achievement and Modernity
Langbeschreibung
Contemporary Asian societies bear the imprint of the experience and afterlives of colonialism, revolutionary socialism and religious and secular nationalism in dramatically contrasting ways. Asian Lives in Anthropological Perspective draws together essays that demonstrate the role of these far-reaching transformations in the shaping of two Asian settings in particular - India and Vietnam. It traces historical and contemporary realities through a variety of compelling topics including the lived experience of India's caste system and the ethical challenges faced by Vietnamese working women.
