Summary: The Oxford in India Readings in Sociology and Social Anthropology comprises a set of volumes, each on an important theme or sub-theme within these disciplines. Along with authoritative introductions and sectional prefaces, each book brings together key essays that apprise readers of the current debates and developments within the area concerned, with specific reference to India. The volumes act both as introductions to sociology and social anthropology and as essential reference works for students, teachers, and researchers. Social Stratification brings together a selection of readings on caste, caste profiles, class, and conflict. Diverse perspectives on the study of social stratification in India are schematically presented, and the volume is structured to balance theoretical and field studies. The editor weaves these varied views into a comprehensive and thought-provoking reader that informs and invites debate, and argues for an examination of the relative importance accorded to hierarchy and difference in this field.
