Innovation as Social Change in South Asia: Transforming Hierarchies
by Minna Säävälä, Sirpa Tenhunen (Author),
Routledge (Publisher)
Product Specifications
Book Description
This book examines innovation as social change in South Asia. From an
anthropological micro-perspective, innovation is moulded by social systems of
value and hierarchy, while simultaneously having the potential to transform
them. Peterson examines the printing press's changing technology and its
intersections with communal and language ideologies in India. Tenhunen explores
mobile telephony, gender, and kinship in West Bengal. Uddin looks at microcredit
and its relationship with social capital in Bangladesh. Jeffrey surveys
imbalanced sex ratios and the future of marriage payments in north-western
India. Ashrafun and Säävälä investigate alternative dispute resolution as a
social innovation which affects the life options of battered young wives in
Sylhet, Bangladesh.
