Tribal world and transfmation
Singh , Bhupinder (ed.)
Tribal world and transfmation - New Delhi Concept pub 1980 - 276 p.
A great deal has happened all over the world since the year 1934 which witnessed the Ist Congress of the Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences in London,
The science of man has weathered many a storm not excepting the far-reaching repercussions of the holocaust of World War II. It has in fact emerged Anteus-like, stronger and revitalized each time. Speedier modes of travel and more efficient media of communication enabling the peoples of the world to come closer to each other have led to a significant revolution in the social sciences.
For the first time since its inception, the ICAES held its Xth quadrennial session in a Third World country under the distinguished presidentship of a Third World anthropologist. It is but fitting that the papers presented at the Congress should be published in India, the host country.
This volume offers a selection of eighteen papers which focus on the tribal world and the changes which have occurred in it all over the world due to varying reasons. Chief among these are of course the industrialization and modernization which have swept through most nations and which have tended to engulf whole communities both tribal and non tribal in its wave, transforming them slowly but surely. Developmental plans-by governmental and private agencies have wrought further changes. The study of static societies and placid polities is thus being replaced by a study of the dynamics of development, "The old order changeth yielding place to new...."
Well edited and collated, the papers in this volume offer a kaleidoscopic view of the tribal world. It is hoped that this volume, the first in this prestigious series, will herald a newly-awakened dawn in the study of Man,
