Sachsenmaier Dominic, Riedel Jens, Ed.
Reflections on Multiple Modernities: European, Chinese and Other Interpretations
This work explores an emerging paradigm in the social sciences, which assumes culturally specific forms of modernity. Modernization is thus no longer equated with homogenization. Scholars from history, sociology, area studies, and economics discuss the concept's implications. The first part covers a range of theoretical questions arising from the new approach. Issues such as the common features of all modernities and their interrelation with regional particularities, the reasons for antinomies of modernity, and the preconditions for a peaceful coexistence of cultures are raised. The second and third parts deal with Europe and China as two specific encounters with modernity, the tensions between universalism and cultural identities, both in past and present. The fourth part analyzes how Multiple Modernities translates into formal and informal institutions of diverse capitalisms.

Settlement and Social Change in Asia. Collected Papers Volume One
Red cloth, no jacket. Very Good. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xiv, 492 p., [16] leaves of plates :.ill., maps, ports. "In this first volume of essays I deal with several problems of settlement and social changes in Asia. They are the result of long years of research in China, Japan, Korea, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Turkey. In the opening portions I discuss land tenure and the definition of the basic concepts of 'land' and 'tenure'. Though land tenure may be treated in quite different ways, I am mainly concerned with the question of how human societies in Asia occupied and used the land. This involves a study of migrations and the structure of the new immigrant societies. . ." Scarce.
