Glenn Davis Stone's recent paper

"The birth and death of traditional knowledge: paradoxical effects of biotechnolgy in India" is now available at his site:

Some of the paper covers the same ground as his earlier paper "Agricultural Deskilling and the Spread of Genetically Modified Cotton in Warangal." Current Anthropology 48:67-103; but the new material is about the Gujarat experience in BT cotton. Both papers are discussed by Andrew Leonard in salon.com http://www.salon.com/tech/htww/2007/02/08/gujarat/
