Verrier Elwin (1902–64) was an anthropologist, poet,Gandhian, hedonist, Englishman and Indian. Savaging the Civilized reveals a many-sidedman, a friend of the elite who was at home with the impoverished and the destitute;a charismatic charmer of women who was comfortable with intellectuals such asArthur Koestler and Jawaharlal Nehru; an anthropologist who lived with and lovedthe tribes yet who wrote literary essays and monographs for the learned.\u003cbr\u003e\nSavaging the Civilized is both biography and history, an exploration through Elwin’s life of some of the great debates of our times, such as the impact of economic development and cultural pluralism versus cultural homogeneity. For this new edition, Ramachandra Guha has updated the epilogue to take account of the growing influence of Naxalites in adivasi areas. He has also added a fresh introduction, stressing the relevance of Elwin’s life and work to current debates on Indian democracy and pluralism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143427667\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.5 x 5.5 x 1.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51222594945328,"sku":"PrakashBooks_9780143427667","price":525.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/715TpBx2opL.jpg?v=1774498273","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/savaging-the-civilized-verrier-elwin-his-tribals-and-india","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
