Download or read book Raj Rhapsodies Tourism Heritage and the Seduction of History written by Maxine Weisgrau and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heritage is a prized cultural commodity in the marketing of tourism destinations. Particular aspects of heritage are often more actively promoted, with others played down. The representation of heritage in tourism as static and timeless, derived since time immemorial from a distant past, is seductive. In Asia, a major part of the tourism market lies in the sale and consumption of highly orientalized images and versions of culture and history. In India’s marketing discourse, the state of Rajasthan symbolizes the nation in its heritage-laden, traditional and most authentic form. These images draw heavily on the British period in India - the Raj. In one sense, this vision of Rajasthan is ennobling, highlighting moments of cultural pride. In another sense, it demeans, by omitting and obscuring salient features of contemporary life. This fascinating book explores the cultural politics of tourism through interdisciplinary perspectives. Carol E. Henderson and Maxine Weisgrau demonstrate that tourism heritage privileges elite histories that recapitulate colonial relationships, compelling non-elites to collude in these narratives of subordination even as they advance their own alternative visions of history.

Download or read book Alchemies of Violence written by Lawrence A Babb and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2004-08-30 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The several trading castes known generically as `Marwaris` are among the most powerful and wealthy groups in India. While they have spread throughout India and beyond, their homeland is Rajasthan. This absorbing book explores their origin myths and the manner in which these myths construct and express their social identities. Lawrence Babb draws attention to the special problems of self-definition faced by these groups and shows how myth engages these problems by using a distinctive symbolism drawn from the Vedic rite of sacrifice. According, to the author, origin myths utilize sacrifice as a master metaphor for creative power and social order. At a broader level, this book deals with three interrelated themes: the nature of India`s caste system; the special character and specific place of trading castes in Indian society; and the role of myth as a repository of socially important knowledge. A unique feature of this book is that it is based mainly on the literature published by caste and religious associations supplemented by oral material.

Book excerpt: Isaac is a teenager living in a beautiful place called Charlottesville with his older sister, Gwyn, and his mother, Sophia. He is an introverted person, who is very reserved when it comes to everyone, but he's looking for the one to show who he really is. Like everyone else, he experiences what it is like to lose the one he thought was the love of his life, not knowing that it was a lesson in life and that it was redirecting him down the correct path. Anna is new to Charlottesville. She recently moved there from England with her father. With no friends or really any idea which direction her school is in, she and Isaac bump into each other, and just like that, they become friends, almost like they have known each their whole lives. And as time goes on, they become closer and closer, and along the way, they make new and interesting friends. Unfortunately, not everything is perfect in life. Horrible things happen. You can make enemies even if you are the nicest person, as many people out there just love conflict. Will Isaac and Anna live a beautiful life the way that they both dreamed of, along with new friends? Or will this dream of a beautiful life end up a nightmare, resulting in broken hearts? Only the strength of their love and the love of their families and friends will help them through the journey that we call life.
