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.
