    Book, University of California Press, 2000

    This rich ethnography explores beliefs and practices surrounding aging in a rural Bengali village. Lamb uses a focus on age as a means not only to open up new ways of thinking about South Asian social life, but also to contribute to contemporary theories of gender, the body, and culture, which have been hampered, the book argues, by a static focus on youth.
