The kind of interpretation attempted in this volume grew out of a search for answers to the following question: What are the chief ways in which Indians have responded to Western civilization and what has happened to their cultures as a result of contact? The present volume attempts to answer the questions in a broad way for the region as a whole| but with sufficient detail to provide a sense of concreteness regarding the experience of each of the major Indian groups.
