A punjabi village in perspective: book I : A punjabi village in Pakistan: the community book II : the economic life of a punjabi village: the land and the economy

This volume combines two books, the award-winning A Punjabi Village in Pakistan and The Economic Life of a Punjabi Village and both are based on extensive fieldwork in Pakistan. This volume contains relevant insights into Pakistani society, particularly women, which are still pertinent today, as well as a moreholistic and humanistic view of village life in South Asia. Eglar's study is useful for precisely what she focused on-the patterns of ritual service and gift exchange which underlay every facet of life in a village INDICE: Book I : A Punjabi Village in Pakistan: The Community ; Foreword by Margaret Mead; Preface; Prologue: The Wider Setting; PART I.
