Description
|
|
|
|
This omnibus contains two volumes, the classic A Punjabi Village in Pakistan and its sequel, The Economic Life of a Punjabi Village, based on Zekiye Eglar's extensive fieldwork in the 1950s. Though the region has changed much since then, they contain still-relevant insights into Pakistani society, particularly women, as well as a holistic and humanistic view of village life that can apply to other villages around the globe. 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 the village. Together the books present an in-depth outsider-insider perspective into the social and economic patterns of a village in Pakistan prior to the Green Revolution of 1958 that heralded the beginnings of change in village agriculture and land ownership.
