Summary, etc. The essays included in this<br/>volume cover twenty years'<br/>development of the author's<br/>research and thought in social<br/>inequality and social justice in<br/>India and cross-culturally.<br/>They issue from the premise<br/>that inequality within and among<br/>nations is a major social<br/>problem. The author holds that<br/>institutionalized inequality is a<br/>major cause of human anguish<br/>and conflict. His own observation<br/>and experience in the notorious<br/>Alabama, USA brought home to<br/>him the invidious working of this<br/>social malaise.<br/>This collection (of 18 essays<br/>including 4 hitherto unpublished)<br/>begins with Professor Berreman's<br/>well-known, earliest article 'Caste<br/>in India and the United States'<br/>(1960), proceeds through<br/>empirical and theoretical essays<br/>on various systems of inequality,<br/>rigid and flexible, rural and urban,<br/>small scale and large, and<br/>concludes with his most recent<br/>one, 'Social Equality: A Cross-<br/>Cultural Typology' (1978).<br/>Several of the essays express<br/>the author's interest in rural<br/>social organisation in India inere<br/>most of his research has been<br/>conducted.<br/>This is the work of a person for<br/>whom social inequality is not a<br/>matter of closed-door, academic<br/>research but something that<br/>touches his deepest convictions.<br/>Assembled from widely scattered<br/>sources, these essays were a<br/>primary basis for award of the<br/>degree of Doctor of Philosophy<br/>honoris causa to the author by the<br/>University of Stockholm in May<br/>1978.<br/>An authentic, refreshingly<br/>different work that should<br/>interest sociologists in India and<br/>elsewhere.
