商品簡介
Discourses of development have often invoked a universalized sense of modernity. Sivaramakrishnan (director, South Asia Center at the U. of Washington, US) and Agrawal (political science, McGill U., Canada) instead invoke the idea of regional modernities in these case studies of development processes in India. They present 17 papers that historicize the emergence of regional modernities through development practices. The book emphasizes the role of the nation-state in economic, political, and cultural reconstructions of modernities. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
