Summary, etc. | Through close ethnographic work, the authors throw new light on larger debates about development, education and employment in India and raise important issues and questions that demand further exploration and debate by sociologists and policymakers alike. Economic and Political Weekly - The focus on masculinity, education, modernity and social status among rural young men in northern India highlights the problems with education in India. The authors explore the mindset of those for whom rural education is a system that often fails, demonstrating a volatile mix of disenfranchisement on the one hand and underemployment on the other. Susan S. Wadley, Syracuse University, The book is important for both academics and policy makers: 'we question accounts of education as an unproblematic social good within development academia'. Not quite the condemnation of education as causing the problem, but a warning that education on its own will not achieve its goals and that with some people in some contexts, it can have its 'dark side'. Alan Rogers, University of East Anglia Education, Unemployment and Masculinities in India re-evaluates debates on education, modernity and social change in contemporary development studies and anthropology. Education is widely imputed with the capacity to transform the prospects of the poor. But in the context of widespread unemployment in rural north India, it is better understood as a contradictory resource, providing marginalized youth with certain freedoms but also drawing them more tightly into systems of inequality. The book advances this argument through detailed case studies of educated but unemployed or underemployed young men in rural western Uttar Pradesh. This book draws on fourteen months' ethnographic research with young men from middle caste Hindu, Muslim and ex-Untouchable backgrounds. |
