We report observations and inquiries regarding enculturation and education in the context of change primarily due to urbanization in the village we call Shanti Nagar during the years 1958 and 1959. Although the processes of enculturation and education are related, they are contrasted as two types of learning, enculturation being the traditional learning found among family, kin, and community; and education, a newer type, having to do with the attainment of literacy in formal schooling. Although the study is largely descriptive, comparisons are drawn between the two major types of learning and their function in preparing the individual and community for the modern world. In addition, in this study we describe the problems of changing from one system of learning to another, and indicate the different rates of change occurring historically and during the period of our fieldwork for caste communities, and for the sexes.

The author surveys the history and nature of Western attitudes towards the East, considering Orientalism as a powerful European ideological creation. He traces his view through the writings of Homer, Nerval and Flaubert, Disraeli and Kipling, whose imaginative depictions have greatly contributed to the West's romantic and exotic picture of the Orient. Drawing on his own experience as an Arab Palestinian living in the West, the author examines how these ideas can be a reflection of European imperialism and racism. -- from http://trove.nla.gov.au (Sep. 16, 2011).
