The Language Loss of the Indigenous

The Language Loss of the Indigenous

This volume traces the theme of the loss of language and culture in numerous post-colonial contexts. It establishes that the aphasia imposed on the indigenous is but a visible symptom of a deeper malaise — the mismatch between the symbiotic relation nurtured by the indigenous with their environment and the idea of development put before them as their future. The essays here show how the cultures and the imaginative expressions of indigenous communities all over the world are undergoing a phase of rapid depletion. They unravel the indifference of market forces to diversity and that of the states unwilling to protect and safeguard these marginalized communities. This book will be useful to scholars and researchers of cultural and literary studies linguistics sociology and social anthropology as well as tribal and indigenous studies. | The Language Loss of the Indigenous

With a detailed ethnographic study of the national capital region of Delhi especially Gurugram it explores themes such as class subjectivity morality and social beliefs; life inside gated enclaves; family and everyday practices of class reproduction; and the process of othering and exclusivity among others. Class identity vulnerability and hierarchy influence the actions and motivations of the middle class. The author studies the nuances and socio-political fractures stemming from the complex dynamic of class caste religion and gender that manifest in these neo-urban spaces and how these shape the city and community. Rich in empirical resources this book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of sociology political sociology ethnography urban sociology urban studies and South Asian studies. | The Middle Class in Neo-Urban India Space Class and Distinction
