Soft cover. Zustand: New. The contributors to this major intervention into Indian historiography trace the strategies through which Dalits have been marginalized as well as the ways Dalit intellectuals and leaders have shaped emancipatory politics in modern India. Moving beyond the anticolonialism/nationalism binary that dominates the study of India, the contributors assess the benefits of colonial modernity and place humiliation, dignity, and spatial exclusion at the center of Indian historiography. Several essays discuss the ways Dalits used the colonial courts and legislature to gain minority rights in the early twentieth century, while others highlight Dalit activism in social and religious spheres. The contributors also examine the struggle of contemporary middle-class Dalits to reconcile their caste and class, intercaste tensions among Sikhs, and the efforts by Dalit writers to challenge dominant constructions of secular and class-based citizenship while emphasizing the ongoing destructiveness of caste identity. In recovering the long history of Dalit struggles against caste violence, exclusion, and discrimination, Dalit Studies outlines a new agenda for the study of India, enabling a significant reconsideration of many of the Indian academy's core assumptions.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. This book focuses on the theme of Dalit struggles for dignity in India. It begins by documenting the role of India's Dalits in ensuring inclusion of the term "dignity" in the Indian Constitution of 1950. Introducing Ambedkar's concept of "moral stamina", which emphasised the role of ethical ideas in democracy, the Introduction pairs this idea with the notion of dignity and demonstrates the foundational influence of these two concepts in Dalit activism and writings. Six essays explore the distinct trajectories of Dalit groups in search of religious alternatives. They reveal an ethical understanding of religion in which conversion to Christianity as well as the appropriation of indigenous religious traditions such as Buddhism and the Sant religion (associated with the poet-saints Kabir and Raidas) are shown as initiatives to reconstitute untouchable selfhood by challenging the discourse of caste orthodoxy. Three of the essays show the struggle against caste-Hinduism by analysing changes in the sartorial, spatial, and occupational arenas. These essays take Dalit Studies into under-explored territories and suggest ideas for further research. By focusing on the theme of dignity, this volume highlights shifts in the study of Hinduism, caste inequality, and Dalit Studies over the past decade. It will be seen as indispensable by all students of caste, religion, politics, and history.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Often identified as leatherworkers or characterized as a criminal caste, Chamars of North India have long been stigmatized as untouchables. In this pathbreaking study, Ramnarayan S. Rawat shows that in fact the majority of Chamars have always been agriculturalists, and their association with the ritually impure occupation of leatherworking has largely been constructed through Hindu, colonial, and postcolonial representations of untouchability. Rawat undertakes a comprehensive reconsideration of the history, identity, and politics of this important Dalit group. Using Dalit vernacular literature, local-level archival sources, and interviews in Dalit neighborhoods, he reveals a previously unrecognized Dalit movement which has flourished in North India from the earliest decades of the 20th century and which has recently achieved major political successes.
