Identity, Consciousness and the Past: Forging of Caste and Community in India and Sri Lanka Book

These nine essays, written by leading anthropologists and historians and grouped in two parts, further the frontiers of understanding between history and anthropology. The first part focuses on passions of ethnic and national identity as these impinge on how the past is imagined.
