‎The Goddess and the Slave: The Fakir the Mother and Maldevelopment‎

‎Indica Books 2005. First edition. Softcover. New. 14 x 22 cm. The reality of modernization and globalisation has produced rapid and major changes on the physical and mental landscapes of everyone-often those most affected see the most deleterious effects. The Goddess and the Slave stands amidst such a people informed by their age-old wisdoms and examines the reality of these changes from this grass-roots perspective. Drawing upon the rich inter-connected levels of meaning within the Fakir culture especially with respect to the living breathing paradigmatic Mother-as Nature as the Goddess to be worshipped and as the mother whose service is her identity-The Goddess and the Slave demonstrates the crisis faced by the unique Baul-Fakir sadhana by the non-urban Bengali and by Indian society itself. Standing within the Fakir knowledge paradigm it examines the effects of development and modernization of changing identities and realities of the distortions caused by new needs and attitudes infused into traditional lifestyles and social structures. Rudrani Fakir as an anthropologists and a practitioner uses the Fakir Shadhona as a critical tool of understanding and thereby gives an informed voice to a rich culture within a society in the throes of transition presenting this objective study through her highly engaged subjective perspective. The result is a objective study through her highly engaged subjective perspective. The results is a cohesive insight into the paradoxical roles of the Mother and thereby into our societies and environments. The first part of this book outlines the Fakir society and esoteric shadhona and describes the reception of diverse modern influences into the lives and practices of Fakir men and women. The second part delves into the decline and decay of the reality of the Goddess the changing status of women and of the true nature of wealth and draws together the threads of the old knowledge paradigms-esoteric and modern spoken and wordless powerless and empowered. Finally it offers heuristic paradigms in the form of the goddess herself for a different type of thought wherein the lethal results of fragmented discourse make way for a fruitful engagement-a utopia of realism-of humanity both of and within nature.

‎Six Acres And A Third: Classic Nineteenth-Century Novel‎

‎Berkeley. 2006. University of California Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Hardcover. No Dustjacket As Issued.Remainder Mark On Top Edge. ISBN:0520228820. Translated from the Oriya by Rabi Shankar Mishra Satya P. Mohanty Jatindra K. Nayak & Paul St-Pierre. 223 pages. hardcover. FROM THE PUBLISHER - This sly and humorous novel by Fakir Mohan Senapati-one of the pioneering spirits of modern Indian literature and an early activist in the fight against the destruction of native Indian languages-is both a literary work and a historical document. A text that makes use-and deliberate misuse-of both British and Indian literary conventions Six Acres and a Third provides a unique �view from below� of Indian village life under colonial rule. Set in Orissa in the 1830s the novel focuses on a small plot of land tracing the lives and fortunes of people who are affected by the way this property is sold and resold as new legal arrangements emerge and new types of people come to populate and transform the social landscape. This graceful translation faithfully conveys the rare and compelling account of how the more unsavory aspects of colonialism affected life in rural India. Poet novelist administrator social reformer printer businessman and patriot Fakir Mohan Senapati 1843-1918 was born in a Khandayat family in a small village near Balasore town in Orissa. Satya P. Mohanty is Professor of English at Cornell University. inventory #3243 ISBN: 0520228820. hardcover‎
