Overview
An Alta Mira Press Book This study presents a new approach and theoretical perspective for the study of social transformation in subsistence formations in India. It tells the story of the relatively unknown Bonda highlanders of southern Orissa — a tribe caught in a vortex of change from subsistence production to semi-proletarianized wage earning and abandoned to burgeoning market forces and state-sponsored development.

Nanda (sociology, Jarnia Millia Islamia U., New Delhi) tells the story of the relatively unknown Bonda of southern Orissa, a tribe caught in the change from subsistence production to semi- proletarianized wage-earning, and abandoned to burgeoning market forces. Grounding his study in ethnography, Nanda describes the changes without idealizing the Bonda's traditional way of life, and finally argues for moving away from the narrow monographic framework of existing "tribal studies." Acidic paper. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
