Uncovering a startling yet widespread phenomenon, he shows how the charismatic pull of sainthood (wilayat)--rather than the draw of...

Throughout the 20th century, electricity was considered to be the primary vehicle of modernity, as well as its quintessential symbol.

Yet despite all this, sixty-five years after independence nearly 400 million Indians have no access to electricity. Electrifying India explores the political and historical puzzle of uneven development in India's vital electricity sector. In some states, nearly all citizens have...

In From India to Israel, Joseph Hodes examines...
