"A discernible voice in sociology says, modernisation is often a bane than a boon in many developing societies around the world. In an age of imperialist globalization, such an argument is gaining more currency.

The famous argument development of underdevelopment upheld quite some time ago is one of the landmark views in this context. Modernisation has many facets and more importantly, some of these are often at loggerheads.

"This is the first work to cover the entire history of social and cultural anthropology in a single volume. The authors provide a summary of the discipline in the nineteenth century, from the cultural theories of Herder, Morgan and Tylor to the often neglected contributions of the German scholars of the period.

The work of early twentieth-century anthropologist such as Boas and Malinowski in the US and Britain, and the sociology of Durkheim and Mauss in France, is examined. The ambiguous relationship between anthropology and national cultures-- many of the discipline's founders were migrants of Jews--also receives considerations.

The principal focus of this book is on the themes characteristic of Post-First World War anthropology, from structural (less)

Women’s issues and gender relations are usually kept confined to a separate niche. Conversely, women’s collective actions (movements) and feminism, while drawing much needed attention to women’s issues, tend to err on the opposite side of exclusivism.

Appendix. From the preface: "Mountain people have long practiced sustainable resource management.

They have had to, because their place-based cultures and lack of integration in mainstream economics have required it. So too, the mountains themselves make integrated, intensive approaches the norm.

The extensive development model of the lowlands simply is not practical in the variable topographies and climates of upland regions. Sustainability in mountains, then, is both art and applied science.
