Notes on Love in a Tamil Family
Comments on David Lancy's Review of Enemy Lines

Cyberkids in Metropolitan America
Children have learning and problem-solving powers at least equal to those of adults. But children are in general disempowered and treated as inferior to adults. The availability of home computers from around 1980, and of internet and e-mail facilities from around 1990, created a window of freedom for those children who were allowed unmonitored access to computers, e-mail and the internet.

In 1975 in southern Tamil Nadu, an aged practitioner of Ayurveda conducted for the author's benefit a series of lectures about cancer, in which he propounded…
Notes on Love in a Tamil Family
Love, as a force in human affairs, is still not given much attention or credency by social scientists. With Notes on Love in a Tamil Family, Margaret Trawick places the notion of love prominently in social scientific discourse. Her unforgettable and profusely illustrated study is a significant contribution to anthropology and to South Asian studies. Trawick lived for a time in the midst of one large South Indian family and sought to understand th…

Spirits and voices in Tamil songs
In the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India, women agricultural laborers belonging to untouchable castes sing many songs giving voice to their complex feelings concerning the nature of human relations. Not directly, but by means of stylistic variations in the lyrics of their songs, the singers considered here contrast hierarchical and exclusionary social relations with relations of love between equals, in which the boundaries between lovers diss…
