Visweswaran (anthropology, U. of Texas, Austin) has gathered an impressive array of readings from journals, collections, and books to create a reader on South Asia that describes specific mores, political realities, social norms, gender roles, and religion in light of the complex and tumultuous changes in South Asia from Partition to the present. The 31 chapters are grouped into six topics: religious pluralities, the study of society and social class, nationalism, communal conflict, development and liberalization, and social movements. A brief introduction is provided for each section and the book's introduction usefully describes the region's geography and languages. Dense with information and thoughtfully organized and presented, this reader provides students with a thorough overview of the study of the region, as well as in-depth examples of its culture, society, economics, and daily life.
