Identity, Rights, and Awareness

Anticaste Activism in India and the Awakening of Justice through Discursive Practices

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Identity, Rights, and Awareness opens a much needed critical analysis of subaltern Dalit voice in India. Filling a lacuna in comparative analysis of the connections between anticaste social movement, communal identities, and marginalized voice, this book argues for the important role of narrative strategy in contending against oppressive systems.
