The Right Spouse

Preferential Marriages inamil NaduISABELLE CLARK-DECS

Te Right Spouseis an engaginginvestigation into amil (SouthIndian) preerential close kin mar-riages, so-called Dravidian Kinship.Clark-Decs presents readers with aocused anthropology o this waningmarriage system: its past, present, anddwindling uture. Te book takes

on the main pillars o amil socialorganization, considers the ways inwhich amil intermarriage establisheskinship and social rank, and arguesthat past scholars have improperlydefined Dravidian kinship. Withinher critique o past scholarship, Clark-Decs recasts a powerul and vivid im-age o preerential marriage in amilNadu and how those preerences andmarital rules play out in lived reality.What she discovers in her fieldworkare endogamous patterns and amilialconnections that sometimes result inflawed relationships, contradictorystatuses, and conused roles.

Te Right Spousebrilliantly combinesethnographic insight and theoreticalanalysis to make an invaluable additionto the long debate on the Dravidian kin-ship system.

Regulating Prostitution

in ChinaGender and Local Statebuilding,ELIZABETH J. REMICK

Regulating Prostitution in Chinaexamines how local states were shapedby the choices they made in regulatingthe local institution o prostitution.It begins by looking at the originso prostitution regulation in Europeand how it spread rom there toChina via okyo. Elizabeth Remickthen drills down into the differentregulatory approaches o Guangzhou(revenue-intensive), Kunming(coercion-intensive), and Hangzhou(light regulation). In all three cases,there were distinct consequences andimplications or statebuilding, some owhich made governments bigger andwealthier, some o which weakenedand undermined development. Tisstudy makes a strong case or whygender needs to be written into thestory o statebuilding in China, eventhough women, generally barred rompolitical lie at that time in China,were not visible political actors.

Power and Patronageexamines theunwritten rules and inner workingso contemporary Chinas local politicsand government. It exposes how theserules have helped to keep the one-Party state together during decadeso tumultuous political, social, andeconomic change.

While many observers o Chinesepolitics have recognized the impor-tance o inormal institutions, thisbook explains how inormal localgroups actually operate, paying specialattention to the role o patronagenetworks in political decision-making,political competition, and officialcorruption. Although patronagenetworks are ofen seen as a parasiteon the ormal institutions o state,

Hillman shows that patronage politicsactually help Chinas political systemunction. In a system characterized byragmented authority, personal powerrelations, and bureaucratic indiscipline,patronage networks play a critical rolein acilitating policy coordination andbureaucratic bargaining.

Electrifying India

Regional Political Economiesof DevelopmentSUNILA S. KALE

Troughout the th century,electricity was considered to be theprimary vehicle o modernity, as wellas its quintessential symbol. In India,electrification was central to how earlynationalists and planners conceptual-ized Indian development, and hugesums were spent on the project rom

then until now. Yet despite all this,sixty-five years afer independencenearly million Indians have noaccess to electricity. Electriying Indiaexplores the political and historicalpuzzle o uneven development inIndias vital electricity sector.

In some states, nearly all citizens haveaccess to electricity, while in othersewer than hal o households havereliable electricity. o help explain

this variation, this book offers both aregional and a historical perspectiveon the politics o electrification oIndia as it unolded in New Delhiand three Indian states: Maharashtra,Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh.

Most studies o Chinese literatureconflate the category o the uturewith notions o progress and nationbuilding, and with the utopian visionsbroadcast by the Maoist and post-Maodevelopmental state. Te uture isthus understood as a preconceivedendpoint that is propagated, at
