Publisher's Synopsis
Ethnography can be both a process and a product that focuses on the concept of the other. This anthology of research papers applies the different methodological tools of ethnography to analyze the deprivation - economic, social, cultural, and linguistic - among the marginalized groups of Indian society, such as women, tribals, and the downtrodden. The contributions - by scholars from India and abroad - accentuate the theoretical and empirical layout of language, literature, culture, history, and social development. The book will be of interest to students, researchers, teachers, and policy makers.
