> Dear H-Asia members,

> I recently joined H-ASIA and would like to introduce myself. My name is
> Ayelet Harel-Shalev, a lecturer of Political Science at Ben-Gurion
> University, Israel. During the forthcoming academic year, I will be hosted
> at UCLA, as a visiting researcher.
>
> I am specializing in comparative political studies; Indian politics and
> society; ethnic conflicts; and democratization processes. Currently, I
> focus on modern India, and explore the intriguing topic of the
> contradiction between civic individual rights and minority rights.
>
> Some of you might be interested in my new book: The Challenge of
> Sustaining Democracy in Deeply Divided Societies - Citizenship, Rights,
> and Ethnic Conflicts in India and Israel. It has recently won the Israeli
> Political Science Association (ISPSA) prize for the best book of 2010.
> Members interested in the book topic are more than welcome to contact me;
> I will be happy to send the book flyer with more details regarding the
> contents, and a discount offer.

> I look forward to participating in the H-ASIA community. In particular, I
