Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The weights of Laos are amongst the oldest in Southeast Asia, but have been understudied. There are almost no surviving Laotian records regarding weights. The very first article about the animal-shaped weights of Southeast Asia was published in France in the year 1910, which was primarily concerned with the weights found in Laos. In the following 115 years, there has been one lone publication concerning Laotian weights. The present book aims to assemble all that is known about Laotian weights. Laos has origins of weights dating back to the fourteenth century when the Lan Xang kingdom was established, and in the late 19th century, it fell under European influence as part of the French Indochina colony. Amidst a chaotic and troubled history, Laos has produced an interesting array of endearing weights, mostly intended for small hand-held balances - Laotian weights rarely exceed 130 g in weight. The earliest weights originate from Lan Xang, and the geometric designs were likely borrowed from Islamic trade weights. In the sixteenth century, the adoption of Buddhism fostered a unique style of weights seemingly based on a monk's alms bowl known as 'monk-bowl' weights. Finally, influences from Burma and Siam led to a generation of wonderful small weights, or possibly amulets, primarily based on figures from the Asian zodiac, but often from mythical creatures believed to inhabit the Mekong. These miniature works of art often are tightly held in Southeast Asia, as many believe they retain mystical and protective powers. This volume attempts to piece together an overview of historical Laotian weights, based on surviving weights from the region, and writings of European visitors from the mid-nineteenth century onwards. The book comprises 211 pages and features over 400 colour images of the intriguing weights from Laos, and the associated Mekong region. This is the third volume in a planned four-volume series about the weights of Southeast Asia and India.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In a country as vast and varied as India and that too with an extraordinary long and continuous history spanning over several millennia, historical processes of its development just cannot be unilinear. Since such diversi-fied processes are being presented in this monograph in a broad material background, it becomes imperative that the simultaneous presence of varied production processes in different parts of the subcontinent is recognised and underlined. In fact, modes of production and productive forces as factors behind historical transformations through the centuries have been stressed in most of the contributions here. Be it the issue of social formations and their dynamism, or of the analysis of the so-called 'feminist' writings; comprehending the ground realities of the lowest orders of the social fabric, or of providing fresh insights for delineating the developmental stages of Indian arts; construction of the apparatus of knowledge systems in early India, or of establishing the true identity of common Indian human being; the central focus has always been on the ordinary toiling people of the country. Even archaeologists have been exhorted to make them the real subjects of enquiry and data retrieval in their diggings and excavation reports. Long tradition of questioning going back to the gveda, social bases of knowledge systems, construction of 'heritage' and its sustenance in the face of challenges of 'development', ideological confrontations with neo-colonialist strains and incessant concern about communalisation of writings on Indian history and archaeology are other themes that have been highlighted here. Sixteen essays of this anthology cover almost the whole gamut of five millennia of Indian history. 559 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -For decades, the history of tribal movements in south India has remained an under-researched and unexplored field of investigation. The states that have been covered in the present book are not even considered having a substantial amount of tribal population and are thereby excluded from the Fifth Schedule Area provisions under the Indian Constitution. The growing discontent among the tribes of south India and their incessant protests have been studied and documented in the present book. Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu - these four states have been dealing with unabated tribal unrest since Independence. The problems, injustices and deprivations caused by industrialization, mining, dam building and other so-called 'development' projects have been analyzed with myriad examples from different tribal communities according to their sufferings and demands. Unfortunate incidents, such as Vachati, Muthanga, Silent Valley, Polavaram, and many more have been dealt with as special case studies to showcase the virulent tribal uprisings going on in the southern parts of our country that are in no way less significant than the eastern or central Indian tribal movements. The extremist-affected Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra has been added as a separate chapter, where the crisis and struggle of its Adivasi populations have been addressed. The book offers a holistic and comprehensive study of the tribes of contemporary south India with an in-depth analysis and empirical research on their everyday survival, existence, and struggle. The book is highly recommended for social scientists, tribal studies, gender studies scholars and researchers. 230 pp. Englisch.…
