Innovation as Social Change in South Asia
Taylor & Francis
This book examines innovation as social change in South Asia. From an anthropological micro-perspective, innovation is moulded by social systems of value and hierarchy, while simultaneously having the potential to transform them. Peterson examines the printing press\u2019s changing technology and its intersections with communal and language ideologies in India. Tenhunen explores mobile telephony, gender, and kinship in West Bengal. Uddin looks at microcredit and its relationship with social capital in Bangladesh. Jeffrey surveys imbalanced sex ratios and the future of marriage payments in north-western India. Ashrafun and S\u00E4\u00E4v\u00E4l\u00E4 investigate alternative dispute resolution as a social innovation which affects the life options of battered young wives in Sylhet, Bangladesh.
