Publisher's Synopsis
The Village Community and Modern Progress is a book written by Ananda Kentish Coomaraswamy and published in 1908. The book discusses the impact of modernization and progress on traditional village communities in India. Coomaraswamy argues that the introduction of modern technology and Western values has disrupted the social and cultural fabric of these communities, leading to a loss of traditional values and practices. He advocates for the preservation of traditional ways of life and the importance of community-based solutions to social and economic problems. The book is an important contribution to the study of Indian society and the impact of colonialism and modernization on traditional communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
