Description

How may we characterie contemporary society in a world so complex? Can looking at thediverse paths followed by various cultures in the modern world generate useful new socialscientific typologies, or must a different set of questions be posed in this era ofglobaliation? What, in short, is the nature of modernity? These are some of the questionsaddressed by the contributors to MultipleModernities. Following the theme in anearlier work edited by Shmuel Eisenstadt, Public Spheres and CollectiveIdentities, this book challenges conventional notions of how the world haschanged politically, socially, and economically. The authors consider the meaning of modernityin contexts as different as communist Russia, modern India, the Muslim world, Latin America,China and East Asia, and the United States. Miscegenation, transnational migration,technological developments, and changing communications have shifted the ground on whichtheories of society were once built; political system, diaspora groups, religion, and"classical" theories of modernity have to be reconsidered in a newcontext. Authors and chapters include: S.N. Eisenstadt,"Multiple Modernities"; Bjrn Wittrock, "Modernity: One, None, orMany? European Origins and Modernity as a Global Condition"; Johann P. Arnason,"Communism and Modernity"; Nilfer Gle, "Snapshots of IslamicModernities"; Dale F. Eickelman, "Island and the Languages ofModernity"; Sudipta Kaviraj, "Modernity and Politics in India";Stanley J. Tambiah, "Transnational Movements, Diaspora, and MultipleModernities"; Tu Weiming, "Implications of the Jrise of 'Confucian' EastAsia"; Jrgen Heideking, "The Pattern of American Modernity from the Revolutionto the Civil War"; and Renato Orti, "From Incomplete Modernity to WorldModernity." Written in clear and non-technicallanguage for both a scholarly and general audience, this volume confronts the problem of justwhat constitutes the common core of modernity.
