Other factors \"inhibiting\" the East's development, such as the role of the family, have also been greatly exaggerated, and have contributed to a misunderstanding of both Eastern and Western history and society. This wide-ranging and provocative book begins to redress the balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521556736\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.0 x 6.0 x 0.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50228773191984,"sku":"Trans_9780521556736","price":1861.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81D79b1EVBL.jpg?v=1760770484","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/the-east-in-the-west","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
