24.01.2022 Call for papers: The Vernacular Victoria https://networks.h-net.org//call-papers-vernacular-victori

19.01.2022 Congratulations to Assa Doron and Robin Jeffrey, winners of the SASAA President’s Inaugural Book Prize for 2018-19! The President’s Inaugural Book Prize rewards outstanding scholarship in South Asian Studies, in any discipline, by scholars at any stage of their research careers. Here’s what the judges said about Doron and Jeffrey’s book, "Waste of a Nation: Garbage and Growth in India" (Harvard Uni Press 2018): This path-breaking book explores the dense connections between ...what we discard and economic growth, of caste and value, discrimination and populism, and technology and the rise of the Indian nation. Readers are taken on a journey through the by-lanes of northern India where questions of purity and pollution gain salience, to the putrefied waste clogged Ganges, the ancillarised industries in urban settlements, and to the circulation of e-waste. This book generates new insights on India’s complex history of nation building in relationship to caste, labour, waste and place-making. It is notable for its rich ethnography and historical rigour. Written in engaging and clear prose, Waste of a Nation is an important teaching resource, makes a valuable contribution to the study of waste and nation-building in anthropology and history and is a must-read for anyone interested in South Asian societies and politics.
