Globalisation and People at the Margins: Experiences from the Global South-Special Issue

Globalisation and People at the Margins: Experiences from the Global South Guest Editors: Eswarappa Kasi and Julia Guenther http://www.sagepub.in/repository/binaries/PDFs/SpecialIssue_JDS.pdf; http://jds.sagepub.com/ This JDS special issue on ‘Globalization and People at the Margins’ provides an interdisciplinary examination of the effects of globalization on the dispossessed, the marginal, and the excluded sectors of the population. In general, the articles in this issue reveal that the market-oriented development strategies associated with globalization have adversely affected the livelihoods of India’s marginalized people. The issue also reveals how certain civil society organizations in India have opposed the exploitative and exclusivist forms of development associated with globalization while also advocating a more participatory and people-centric paradigm of development that empowers and gives voice to the marginalized sectors of the population.

Social Exclusion in India: Critical Ethnographic Discourse from the Margins-Special Issue

Social Exclusion in India: Critical Ethnographic Discourse from the Margins-Special Issue, 2013, Annuaire Roumain d’Anthropologie (Romanian Year Book of Anthropology), Guest Edited by R. Yalamala, R. Oakley, and Kasi, E. http://annuaire.antropologia.ro/volume-50-2009 The current volume of Annuaire Roumain d’Anthropologie, with a topic on social exclusion in India, continues and expands this new orientation towards current issues in contemporary societies. Post-socialist countries, including Romania, experience similar social problems that plague developing countries such as India. By publishing this special volume the editors intend to renew the signal that this journal, as part of a wider Romanian academic publishing space, is opened to anthropologically relevant subjects dealing with global issues, major population health concerns, and various societal phenomena – e.g. aging, trends in nutrition, economic transition, etc. –, social exclusion being just one of them.
