THE REMEMBERED VILLAGE, 2/e

Thirty-six years ago, M.N. Srinivas introduced us to Rampura, a multi-caste village in south India, capturing forever its multi-layered inter- and intra-caste relations, while contextualizing them within Indian political history. Through enduring fieldwork and the fiery loss of his notes, the dramatic birth of this classic of sociology and anthropology is enshrined in its evocative title. With an introduction by André Béteille, this Oxford India Perennials edition offers the icon of village studies to a new generation of readers. It celebrates the books importance as an integral study in Indian sociology and anthropology since its first publication in 1976.
