  • The dynamics of translocal and transjurisdictional networks

    Roger BallardARTICLESouth Asian Diaspora2009

    Diasporic initiatives, implemented ‘from below’ no less than ‘from above’, have played a key role in 500 years of globalisation and have made significant contribution to swings in the global balance of power and wealth. The diasporic networks which non‐European migrants have utilised to establish themselves in the global North are far from novel, although their transgressive success has begun to alarm the indigenes of Euro‐America. In a last‐ditc…

  • A case of capital-rich under- development

    Open AccessRoger BallardARTICLEContributions to Indian Sociology2003Cited by: 18References: 1

Yet despite the intensity of the trans-local linkages which have thereby been created, and the huge flow of remit tance capital into a district which otherwise occupies a thoroughly marginalised position on the glo…

  • Negotiating race and ethnicity

    Roger BallardARTICLEPatterns of Prejudice1996Cited by: 20References: 2

    Even though the inclusion of an ethnic question has undoubtedly added an important new dimension to the [UK] Census deciding how data associated with the new ethnic group variable can best be interpreted is by no means a straightforward task.... My central objective is to bring the underlying issues into clearer analytical focus. To this end I begin with a brief review of the current state of racial inequality and ethnic diversity in Britain--bot…

  • Sacred Cows and Water Buffalo in India

    Stanley A Freed, Ruth S Freed et al.ARTICLECurrent Anthropology1981Cited by: 10References: 8

    In 1958-59 and in 1977-78, we undertook holistic ethnographic studies of a village in northern India. Profound technoenvironmental change occurred in the 18-year period between the two studies. With regard to cattle, the principal change was a shift from bullock power to machinery. This provided the basis for a test of the two principal positions that have been taken in the sacred-cow controversy: (1) technoenvironmental determinism, which denies…
