Most of the essays are linked by recurring themes. [Arundhati Roy] denounces Hindu nationalism as fascism, defends the rights India's Muslim minority, and warns that the increasing marginalization of India's minorities and rural poor borders on genocide. The book's subtitle, Field Notes on Democracy, refers to Roy's scathing critique of India's political and judicial systems, both at the centre and at the state level: "Every 'democratic' institution in this country has shown itself to be unaccountable, inaccessible to the ordinary citizen and either unwilling or incapable of acting in the interests of genuine social justice. For Roy, parliamentary democracy in India is a sham, and the only path to social justice is non-violent resistance. You may disagree with her stand, you may wish s...

Liberation Nuts, based in Albuquerque, N.M., says that it is "helping people trade their way out of poverty and change an unfair trading system, one nut at a time!" This company works with smallholder producer co-operatives in Asia, Africa and Latin America that represent more than 22,000 shareholder growers in their operation. The challenges now, says the ACA, are to organize the sector to maximize earnings, to get involved in the value added side of the business, rather than sending raw product to other countries (Brazil, India) for processing and packaging, to develop appropriate technology to increase production and processing, and to better promote cashews as a health food.
...Cashews fight malnutrition locally and through export as they contain more vi...
It might seem obvious in 2007 that voting rights shouldn't be restricted by religion, gender, caste, literacy or landowning status. But in 1947, women in the U.S. had barely had the franchise for a quarter century. It would be nearly another two decades before the Voting Rights Act of 1965 reaffirmed the right to vote for African-Americans, who had been effectively disenfranchised in much of the country. And the U.S. wouldn't catch up to India's model of universal suffrage for every citizen 18 or older until 1970. The strongest argument for the strength of India's democracy can be found right next door. Pakistan, India's northern neighbour, has only twice in its 60-year history enjoyed peaceful and democratic transition in government. Military coups and martial law have been all too fam...

My principal objective in this paper is to delineate how anthropologists can understand and help solve human problems emerging from the global change. In this paper I will focus on three major anthropological domains. Firstly, following a brief overview on epistemology and foundations of anthropological knowledge (i.e. scientific methodological tradition), I will discuss contemporary human problems emerging from global change and assess how sociocultural anthropology can contribute to understandings of gender and health issues in development. Secondly, I will assess emerging development problems in Bangladesh with a critical anthropological lens, considering how anthropological viewpoints can contribute to solving these problems. In other words, I will contextualize how anthropological ...
