The Saffron Wave - Democracy and Hindu Nationalism in Modern India

Oxford University Press. 2001. (ISBN: 019565613x). Paperback. Book, 293 pp. Clean sound reading copy with unmarked text. previous owners initials printed neatly on the ffep. Secure packaging! In this book, Thomas Blom Hansen analyses the Indian receptivity to the right-wing Hindu nationalist party and its political wing, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) which claims to create a polity based on ancient Hindu culture. Rather than interpreting Hindu nationalism as a mainly religious phenomenon, or a strictly political movement, the author places the BJP within the context of the larger tranformations of democratic governance in India...

Sovereign bodies. Citizens, migrants, and states in the postcolonial world

Princeton Univ Pr, 2005. Paperback. Pp: 366. 9/11 and its aftermath have shown that our ideas about what constitutes sovereign power lag dangerously behind the burgeoning claims to rights and recognition within and across national boundaries. New configurations of sovereignty are at the heart of political and cultural transformations globally.Sovereign Bodiesshifts the debate on sovereign power away from territoriality and external recognition of state power, toward the shaping of sovereign power through the exercise of violence over human bodies and populations. In this volume, sovereign power, whether exercised by a nation-state or by a local despotic power or community, is understood and scrutinized as something tentative and unstable whose efficacy depends less on formal rules than on repeated acts of violence.Following the editors' introduction are fourteen essays by leading scholars from around the globe that analyze cultural meanings of sovereign power and violence, as well as practices of citizenship and belonging-in South Africa, Peru, India, Mexico, Cyprus, Norway, and also among transnational Chinese and Indian populations. Sovereign Bodies enriches our understanding of power and sovereignty in the postcolonial world and in "the West" while opening new conceptual fields in the anthropology of politics.
