Buch
Original publisher's sewn paperback, pictorial frontcover, 8vo: xviij, 290pp., tables, glossary, notes, bibliography, index. Contents: 1. Who are the Untouchables? 2. The question of the 'Harijan atrocity'. 3. Religion, politics and the Untouchables from the nineteenth century to 1956. 4. Public policy I: adverse discrimination and compensatory discrimination. 5. Public policy II: the anti-poverty programs. 6. The new Untouchable proletariat: a case study of the Faridabad stone quarries. 7. Untouchable politics and Untouchable politicians since 1956. 8. The question of reservation: lives and careers of some scheduled castes MP's and MLA's. 9. Subordination, poverty and the state in modern India. Very fine copy. " In a sensitive and compelling account of the lives of those at the very bottom of Indian society, Oliver Mendelsohn and Marika Vicziany explore the construction of the Untouchables as a social and political category, the historical background which led to such a definition, and their position in India today. The authors argue that, despite efforts to ameliorate their condition on the part of the state, a considerable edifice of discrimination persists on the basis of a tradition of ritual subordination. Even now, therefore, it still makes sense to categorise these people as 'Untouchables'. The book promises to make a major contribution to the social and economic debates on poverty, while its wide-ranging perspectives will ensure an interdisciplinary readership from historians of South Asia, to students of politics, economics, religion and sociology ".
