| verrier elwin books: Savaging the Civilized Ramachandra Guha, 2016-11-23 This evocative and beautifully written book brings to life one of the most remarkable figures of twentieth-century India. Verrier Elwin (1902–64) was an anthropologist, poet, Gandhian, hedonist, Englishman, and Indian. Savaging the Civilized reveals a many-sided man, a friend of the elite who was at home with the impoverished and the destitute; a charismatic charmer of women who was comfortable with intellectuals such as Arthur Koestler and Jawaharlal Nehru; an anthropologist who lived with and loved the tribes yet who wrote literary essays and monographs for the learned. Savaging the Civilized is both biography and history, an exploration through Elwin’s life of some of the great debates of our times, such as the impact of economic development, and cultural pluralism versus cultural homogeneity. For this new edition, Ramachandra Guha has updated the epilogue to take account of the growing influence of Naxalites in adivasi areas. He has also added a fresh introduction, stressing the relevance of Elwin’s life and work to current debates on Indian democracy and pluralism. |

The essays included here are therefore both appreciative and critical. |

| verrier elwin books: VERRIER ELWIN B. G. Ramesh, 2011-05-06 Verrier Elwin’s essential humanism, theological training, and Gandhian outlook make his work truly distinct. Credited for unveiling before the world the great civilization of India’s tribal communities, Elwin’s work is essential to any discussion on anthropological writing in India. The Oxford India Elwin, part of the prestigious Oxford India Collection, draws from a wide range of Elwin’s writings. Combining autobiographical and scholarly writing, and embellished with more than one hundred photographs and illustrations, this detailed yet eminently readable volume offers a tantalizing glimpse into India’s rich and varied tribal culture. From the jungles of Madhya Pradesh, where the story begins, this book follows Elwin through Bastar and Orissa to the North-east where he eventually settles. A useful reference to the best of Elwin for those already familiar with his work, this book will also introduce interested readers to the charm of his writing and to a fascinating world that is fast disappearing. |

| verrier elwin books: Against Ecological Romanticism Archana Prasad, 2003 The three essays in this book develop a systematic critique of the romanticised notions of tribal life, identity and ecology that informs so much of today's scholarship as well as the popular perceptions and 'everyday commonsense' relating to these themes. The author has examined genesis of certain vision found in the work of Verrier Elwin, the grand old man of Indian anthropology and 'tribal' policy, and has shown how it links up with the contemporary realities of ethnicity, caste and community in India and a hegemonic Hindutva politics. |
| verrier elwin books: Bastar Dispatches Narendra, 2018 Abujhmad in the deep interiors of Bastar is inhabited by the Abujhmadias, a primitive hunter-gatherer tribe whom Verrier Elwin has called the Hill Murias. Abujhmad stands today as one of the few mirrors left the world over wherein modernity can view itself - its calamities and collapses. Abujhmad asks no questions of itself nor provides answers; neither are there searches, quests or creation of utopias, ideas and ideologies, elaborate languages, agricultures, technologies and endeavours.Based on the author's over thirty years of association with Abujhmad (he is probably the first outsider to live there) and its contiguous areas in the Bastar division of Chhattisgarh, Bastar Dispatches brings out how forests and the wilds, humans and animals, distances, spaces and the skies, the knowns and unknowns together make up societies and intimacies. There is a nebulousness, an 'undefined' to Abujhmad's ways. Written in what may be called the Adivasi sensibility of nurturing the tentative, the book provides a compelling narrative of a people at peace with themselves and nature, their dialect, their festivities, their delightful interactions. |

Yet this same Tribal India is now throbbing with discontent, and is breathing, in all departments of her life, a deep spirit of unrest. The book has a number of distinctive features, it will fit into most courses that focus on tribals. Major theoretical frameworks are identified and the standard major topics are covered. |

| verrier elwin books: A Nomad Called Thief G. N. Devy, 2006 A collection of essays on Adivasis. Tribal groups (adivasis) in India have often been excluded, marginalized and oppressed by `mainstream society. In many ways this exclusion, marginalization and oppression is fostered by the way in which `mainstream society looks at the adivasis as exotic, dangerous, or `primitive others. Devy s book looks at the problems of adivasis, the threat to their physical environment, the terror and indignity of the stigma of being considered criminal tribes and their induction into the communal violence in Gujarat. But he also discusses the simple sophistication of Adivasi knowledge systems, language and literature, as also initiatives taken along with tribals in the areas of health, microfinance and preservation of cultural forms. |

While the environmental movement has highlighted issues of 'tradition' and economic and ecological security, the Left has stressed the need for the vision of a modern, but non-capitalist path of development.What is the ideology of the environmental movement?Is the Left's insistence on a class-based approach to the land question valid for tribals? |
| verrier elwin books: The Illustrated Lives in the Wilderness Jim Corbett, Verrier Elwin, Salim Ali, Sálim Ali, 2009 Conserving natural habitats and wildlife, protecting forest communities, reducing human-animal conflict, promoting eco-friendly practices these issues are of increasing importance in twenty-first century India. Interestingly, the triumvirate of Jim Corbett, Verrier Elwin, and Sálim Ali addressed these concerns in the 1940s, much before they featured on the public radar. Including rare visuals photographs, line drawings, and sketches this illustrated edition brings together the life stories of Jim Corbett (1875 1955), India s most well-known hunter-conservationist; Verrier Elwin (1902 1964), one of the greatest champions of India s tribal peoples; and Sálim Ali (1896 1987), the celebrated ornithologist. These perennial classics rarely lose sight of the long-term effects of human footprints in the natural world. The Introduction by acclaimed historian and writer Ramachandra Guha looks at these timeless classics with a contemporary eye. Coloured by the authors characteristic charm and verve, anybody enjoying good writing will find this book eminently readable, as also those interested in wildlife and conservation, birdwatching, anthropology, ecology, and the social history of modern India. |
| verrier elwin books: Sons of the Soil Myron Weiner, 2016-04-19 Myron Weiner's study of the relationship between internal migration and ethnic conflict in India is exceptional for two reasons: it focuses on intercultural and interstate migration throughout the nation, rather than on merely local or provincial phenomena, and it examines both the social and the political consequences of India's interethnic migrations. Professor Weiner examines selected regions of India in which migrants dominate the modern sector of the economy. He describes the forces that lead individual Indian citizens to move from one linguistic-cultural region to another in search of better opportunities, and he attempts to explain their emergence at the top of the occupational hierarchy. In addition, the author provides an account of the ways in which the indigenous ethnic groups (sons of the soil) attempt to use political power to overcome their fears of economic defeat and cultural subordination by the more enterprising, more highly skilled, better educated migrants. In addressing the fundamental clash between the migrants' claims to equal access to their country and the claims of the local groups to equal treatment and protection by the state, Professor Weiner considers some of the ways in which government policy makers might achieve greater equality among ethnic groups without simultaneously restricting the spatial and social mobility of some of its own people. Originally published in 1978. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905. |
