Susan S. Wadley is Ford Maxwell Professor of South Asian Studies and Professor of Anthropology at Syracuse University.

Review:
An important first-hand study of two phenomena which are characteristic of modern India -- namely the impact upon village life of the new ways which have come with independence; and the social and personal organization which tend to afflict the young amidst the rapid growth of urbanization.
