- This book presents an extensive and complex thesis that uniquely articulates global theories of race- and ethnicity-based oppression in the modern economy with on-going inequalities predicated on caste and tribe. It gains further complexity by being shaped as an interdisciplinary dialogue between economists and anthropologists. Unusually it draws on collective and extensive in-depth fieldwork of five anthropologists exploring a shared set of questions using a shared methodology while working in their own location for a full year. This multi-layered analytical process and complex collective investigation drew on the authors’ own long-lasting work on inequality, caste and tribe in India.
