V. Kumar explores the complex and often paradoxical relationship between modernity and ethnicity. Modernity has spread globally, supported by political and intellectual forces, in what seemed to be a relatively unproblematic manner. However, the interplay between modernity and ethnic consciousness reveals deeper complexities that challenge traditional assumptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth Marxists and liberals had theorized that ethnic consciousness would wane in the face of growing capitalism and modernization. Yet, in contemporary society, ethnicity has resurged, defying expectations. While this can be rationalized in the case of traditional societies undergoing incomplete modernization, even advanced, 'modern' societies continue to experience a reawakening of ethnic identities. This apparent paradox of modernity's inability to weaken ethnic consciousness forms the core issue examined in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book presents a series of essays that investigate various empirical situations, especially within the Indian context, while critically engaging with the prevailing theoretical formulations. From examining the politics of ethnicity in Uttar Pradesh to exploring the role of ethnicity in modern India's tribal and ethnic movements, the book offers a comprehensive exploration of the intersection between modernity and ethnicity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEthnicity in an Era of Globalisation by T.N.
