Description:
In 1925, William and Charlotte Wiser arrived in the North Indian village of Karimpur. Over the next five years, they wrote one of the first studies of village India, originally published in 1930. Charlotte Wiser continued to observe and write about the village until her death, when Susan Wadley picked up the narrative. With updates from the 1960s, 1970s, 1984 and 2000, this expanded edition encapsulates 75 years of continuity and change in the village.
