Overview
This penetrating book re-examines `the project of modernity′. It seeks to oppose the abstract, idealized vision of modernity with an alternative `ethnographic′ understanding. The book defends an approach to modernity that situates it as embedded in particular and historical contexts. It examines cases of `popular modernism′ in the United States, Britain and colonial Malaysia, drawing out the specific cultural and religious assumptions underlying popular modernism and concludes that modernism is implicated in a diversity of forms of cultural and racial exclusion.The book, Modernity and Exclusion (Published in association with Theory, Culture & Society) [Bulk, Wholesale, Quantity] ISBN#9780761966579 in Paperback by Joel S Kahn may be ordered in bulk quantities.
