reviewed Thinking Social Science in India: Essays in Honour of Alice Thorner on January 26, 2017
Thinking Social Science in India
These pieces were written between 2002-2003 and reflect that troubled time. The titular piece opens the collection and is certainly timely in light of the bellicose rhetoric between North Korea and the Oval Office. The other pieces were not as gripping. There is an interesting view of domestic India and its myriad concerns.
