Very Good in Dustjacket. 9780674052468. 500 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Graciela Galup. keywords: India History Biography Politics. DESCRIPTION - Modern India… is the world's largest democracy, a sprawling, polyglot nation containing one-sixth of all humankind. The existence of such a complex and distinctive democratic regime qualifies as one of the world's bona fide political miracles. Furthermore, India's leading political thinkers have often served as its most influential political actors - think of Gandhi, whose collected works run to more than ninety volumes, or Ambedkar, or Nehru, who recorded their most eloquent theoretical reflections at the same time as they strove to set the delicate machinery of Indian democracy on a coherent and just path. Out of the speeches and writings of these thinker-activists, Ramachandra Guha has built the first major anthology of Indian social and political thought. MAKERS OF MODERN INDIA collects the work of nineteen of India's foremost generators of political sentiment, from those whose names command instant global recognition to pioneering subaltern and feminist thinkers whose works have until now remained obscure and inaccessible. Ranging across manifold languages and cultures, and addressing every crucial theme of modern Indian history - race, religion, language, caste, gender, colonialism, nationalism, economic development, violence, and nonviolence - MAKERS OF MODERN INDIA provides an invaluable roadmap to Indian political debate. An extensive introduction, biographical sketches of each figure, and guides to further reading make this work a rich resource for anyone interested in India and the ways its leading political minds have grappled with the problems that have increasingly come to define the modern world. inventory #25168.

Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: New. 400pp. Hardly more than a decade old, the twenty-first century has already been dubbed the Asian Century in recognition of China and Indias increasing importance in world affairs. Yet discussions of Asia seem fixated on economic indicators?gross national product, per capita income, share of global tra…de. Makers of Modern Asia reorients our understanding of contemporary Asia by highlighting the political leaders, not billionaire businessmen, who helped launch the Asian Century. The nationalists who crafted modern Asia were as much thinkers as activists, men and women who theorized and organized anticolonial movements, strategized and directed military campaigns, and designed and implemented political systems. The eleven thinker-politicians whose portraits are presented here were a mix of communists, capitalists, liberals, authoritarians, and proto-theocrats?a group as diverse as the countries they represent. From China, the worlds most populous country, come four: Mao Zedong, leader of the Communist Revolution; Zhou Enlai, his close confidant; Deng Xiaoping, purged by Mao but rehabilitated to play a critical role in Chinese politics in later years; and Chiang Kai-shek, whose Kuomintang party formed the basis of modern Taiwan. From India, the worlds largest democracy, come three: Mohandas Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Indira Gandhi, all of whom played crucial roles in guiding India toward independence and prosperity. Other exemplary nationalists include Vietnams Ho Chi Minh, Indonesias Sukarno, Singapores Lee Kuan Yew, and Pakistans Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. With contributions from leading scholars, Makers of Modern Asia illuminates the intellectual and ideological foundations of Asias spectacular rise to global prominence. Book Review ?Biographies of 11 galvanizers of modern Asian nationalism, from Gandhi to Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, underscore the importance of politics before economics? To concentrate on Asias stunning recent economic rise without studying the nationalist developments that preceded it is to ignore (again), at our great loss, the essential makeup and character of these nations. Editor Ramachandra Guha argues that through understanding the lives of these founders?we can grasp the wider political and social processes they effected in their own countries. Composed by various Western and Asian scholars and writers, these essays offer pithy highlights of each individuals early life and political development, followed by delineation of how each applied his or her beliefs (for good or ill) to anti-colonial campaigns.??Kirkus Reviews ?It is all too easy to forget the volcanic history that lies just beneath Asias recent economic boom. Makers of Modern Asia reminds us of the immediacy of this history by bringing together biographies of eleven national leaders of the 20th century whose ruthless pursuit of modernity and power must continue to shape Asias course in the future.Timothy Brook, author of Mr. Seldens Map of China.
