R. Venkatachalapathy, Professor, Madras Institute of Development Studies, Chennai, India. Grappling Across Cultural Borders is a collection of essays on the Danish colony of Tranquebar, known today by the name of Tharagampadi. The essays draw from ethnographic, archival and literary research in this fishing village on the Coromandel Coast. The contributors include leading scholars in their respective fields from Denmark, USA and India. The essays are theoretically sophisticated and cover a broad range of subjects ranging from art, family, colonialism, religion, and print culture to education and material culture. This volume represents a significant intervention in the study of early colonialism in India as it also addresses the complexities of a post colony and how it is perceived in Denmark.

Gellner, Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Oxford Borderland Lives in Northern South Asia provides valuable new ethnographic insights into life along some of the most contentious borders in the world. The collected essays portray existence at different points across India’s northern frontiers and, in one instance, along borders within India. India’s borders with Bangladesh, Bhutan, Burma/Myanmar, China, and Nepal encompass radically different ways of life, a whole spectrum of relationships to the state, and many struggles with urgent identity issues. Taken together, the essays show how it is possible to comprehend Northern South Asia’s various nation-state projects without relapsing into conventional nationalist accounts. 2014 978-81-250-5423-8 ` 875 320pp Hardback Combating Corruption The Indian Case Yogesh Atal is Professor Emeritus of Madhya Pradesh Institute of Social Science Research and Sunil K. Choudhary teaches Political Science in Shyam Lal College (Evening), University of Delhi. The book is a major contribution to our sociological understanding of corruption—as exemplified by cases of grand financial embezzlement—and popular opposition to it. As a must-read for political analysts, sociologists, journalists and general readers alike, it is indispensable for understanding political economy of contemporary India.
