Book Description
In this illuminating collection of esays, Ainslie Embree examines the complex interplay of indigenous Indian culture with Islamic and western civilizations. He argues that civilization is not a fixed residue handed down from the past, but rather an enduring structure with adaptive mechanisms that permit it to be both a historically determined and continuously creative force.
