Sinossi

"Living in India" masterfully explores how a nation of 1.4 billion people maintains its cultural identity while embracing incredible diversity. This comprehensive examination weaves together the complex tapestry of contemporary Indian life, focusing on the delicate balance between tradition and modernization across its vast geographical landscape.

 
Through extensive field research spanning five years and 20 states, the book offers a unique perspective on how ancient customs adapt to modern demands without losing their fundamental essence. The narrative progresses methodically through three main sections, beginning with an exploration of India's physical and social landscapes, from the Himalayas to Kerala's coastline. It then delves into the intricate details of daily life and cultural practices, before examining the fascinating interplay between modernization and traditional values.

 
What makes this work particularly valuable is its balanced approach to documenting both statistical data and personal narratives, providing readers with both macro and micro perspectives on Indian society. Through careful analysis of urban families maintaining traditional practices while pursuing contemporary careers, and rural communities incorporating new technologies into age-old agricultural methods, the book illustrates India's unique model of cultural continuity.

 
The author's systematic approach combines academic rigor with accessible language, making complex social phenomena understandable to both scholars and general readers interested in understanding the world's largest democracy. The work stands out for its comprehensive examination of how geography, economics, and sociology intersect to shape modern Indian society while preserving its rich cultural heritage.

    A novel explanation for why politicians insult, accuse, and threaten their opponents, even though voters say they don't like it. 
     
     
     
    Why do politicians engage in nasty politics? Why do they use insult, accusations, intimidation, and in rare cases violence against their domestic political opponents? In Nasty Politics, Thomas Zeitzoff answers these questions by examining this global political trend in the US, Ukraine, and Israel and looking at how key leaders such as Trump, Zelensky, and Netanyahu use it. Drawing on surveys, case studies, in-depth interviews, databases of nasty politics, and large social media datasets, Zeitzoff shows that across all three countries, the public generally doesn't like nasty politics and it increases the threat of political violence. But it can also be a way to signal toughness to voters, which is especially important in threatening times. Featuring a powerful theory of why nastiness takes hold in democratic polities, Nasty Politics highlights how it influences the kinds of politicians who run for office and deepens our understanding for why so many politicians now rely on outsized 
    anger and withering insults for political gain.

    “One of the best accounts of the reality of gentrification and urban development in China . . . grounded with solid historical, ethnographic and legal evidence” (Urban Studies). In recent decades, the centuries-old city of Shanghai has been demolished and rebuilt into a gleaming megacity. With its world famous skyscrapers, it now ranks with New York and London as a hub of global finance. But that transformation has come at a grave human cost. In Shanghai Gone, Qin Shao applies the concept of domicide—the eradication of a home against the will of its dwellers—to the sweeping destruction of neighborhoods, families, and life patterns that made way for the new Shanghai.   Shao gives voice to the holdouts and protesters who resisted domicide and demanded justice. She follows, among others, a reticent kindergarten teacher turned diehard petitioner; a descendant of gangsters and squatters who has become an amateur lawyer for evictees; and a Chinese Muslim who has struggled to recover his ancestral home in Xintiandi, an infamous site of gentrification dominated by a well-connected Hong Kong real estate tycoon.   Highlighting the wrenching changes spawned by China’s reform era, Shao vividly portrays the corrupt and rapacious pursuit of growth and profit, the personal wreckage it has left behind, and the enduring human spirit it has unleashed.
