About this product
Product Information
One of India's leading public intellectuals, Ashis Nandy is a highly influential critic of modernity, science, nationalism, and secularism. In this, his most important collection of essays so far, he seeks to locate cultural forms and languages of being and thinking that defy the logic and hegemony of the modern West. The core of the volume consists of two ambitious, deeply probing essays, one on the early success of psychoanalysis in India, the other on the justice meted out by the Tokyo War Crimes Tribunal to the defeated Japanese. Both issues are viewed in the context of the psychology of dominance over a subservient or defeated culture. This theme is explored further in essays on mass culture and the media, political terrorism, the hold of modern medicine, and, notably, the conflict or split between the creative work of writers like Kipling, Rushdie, and H. G. Wells, and the political and social values they publicly and rationally present. Also included is a controversial essay by Nandy on the issue of sati, or widow's suicide.

Though the book was in my book - no pun intended - not in "good" condition, the front cover was stained and looked "tired", overall I have had good experiences with this book seller on ebay unlike other book sellers. Therefore, I gave them a positive, overall experience rating.

This book was very informative in easy to understand language - helped tremendously with planning therapies for our nonprofit organization that helps chronically ill women. Only caveat was the book was described as very good - I would say it was fair, stained cover and curled ends.
