4.9/5 (32026 ratings)

Description:Defying the tide of national and cultural neo-tribalism sweeping the world from North America and Europe to India and the Arab countries , Ranjit Hoskote and Illija Trojanow argue that the lifeblood of cluture is confluence, the mingling of dissimilar and even contrary elements. No culture has ever been pure, no tradition self-enclosed, no identity monolithic. Reflecting on various societies, religious traditions and cultural blocs, Hoskote and Trojanow uncover many forgotten histories of the Other within the Self. Following the journeys of stories, ideas, people and songs, they trace the umbilical connections between Europe and Aisa, Zoroastrianism and Christianity, Western revolutionary thought and the annihilatory politics of Jihad and Hindutva. Based on ten years of research and travel, Confluences employs a sophisticated assemblage of approaches, ranging from the essayistic to the poetic, from rigorous historical analysis to the playfulness of fiction.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
