  • Divided and Downgraded: The Downtrodden People of India

    Ruth GlassARTICLEMonthly Review1982

    A hot March afternoon in Ahmedabad last year. For several months, news of increasing turmoil in the city and in other areas of Gujarat has been on the front pages of the Indian press almost every day. "Caste war in Gandhi's home state." "Attacks on Harijans." "Harijans fight back." "Curfew extended." "More victims of violence." "Further arrests." Yes—the city is tense. But now I have come to a cooler, drowsy scene. There is a brief cloudburst as …

  • Exit Mrs. Gandhi

    Ruth GlassARTICLEMonthly Review1977Cited by: 1

    For the time being, the Congress regime—and its detestable offshoot, emergency rule—have come to an end in India. By now, the first celebrations are over. However skeptical one might be—and there are plenty of reasons for skepticism—it is a rare delightful sight to see the insolence of office so soundly punished; to see the erstwhile prisoners get rid of their jailers; to watch the high and mighty digging their own graves. But, you will say, sure…

  • Bengal Notes

    Ruth GlassARTICLEMonthly Review1971

    When I came back from West Bengal in May, I was more than ever convinced that this is one of the most crucial, most battered, least understood areas of the world. It has been rather brushed aside in the literature of the international Left. I wrote you a long letter to give you some idea of the context—the political conditioning to which Bengalis are subjected before talking about their political prospects. I have torn it up: all the words and fi…

  • Cuba Week

    Ruth GlassARTICLENew left review1962

    The sighs of relief have been let off; Wall Street has recovered; the “guilty” have recanted (like Philip Toynbee who wrote to The Times to express his “disgust at the wanton act of aggression committed in that island [Cuba] by Russia”). The pundits have instructed—not least Sir William

  • Ashes of Discontent: The Past as Present in Jamaica

    Ruth GlassARTICLEMonthly Review1962

    West Indians of all social groups, at home and abroad, always say: "We have no history." It is that lament which is a main theme of any West Indian self-analysis. Before going to the Caribbean, I had accepted it without much thought. But then I realized, very soon, that I had never before been in any place in which history is so overwhelmingly alive as it is in the Caribbean islands.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, wh…

  • Household structure and housing needs

    Ruth Gla, Ruth Glass et al.ARTICLEPopulation Studies1951Cited by: 2

    This paper is mainly derived from the material presented in the preceding article by S. P. Brown. Indeed, while the previous analysis is of considerable intrinsic interest, the hypothetical population was constructed and its family distribution was shown for the purpose of providing a basis for estimates of housing needs. For several reasons it appeared to be essential to have such a basis. First, any housing programme has to take the future, as …
