Soft cover. Zustand: New. Ragu, a Dalit, meets Karishma, a Brahmin, in college in Jaipur. They fall in love and marry in secret. They have a child. The girl's parents invite them home, beat Ragu up, and throw him in a sewage canal. He's rescued and admitted to a hospital. He receives a text from Karishma that says she's divorcing him. A broken Ragu kills himself, coming under a running train. For his parents, this is murder. They fight for justice using the Atrocities Act. The Prevention of Atrocities Act of 1989 marks an important turn in tackling hate crimes in India. But availing this law entails fighting an entire legal and state apparatus that is bent on subverting justice. Sandhya Fuchs, a European raised in India, adopted by the Dalit families she works with, spends time with cases filed under the Act in Rajasthan. The term 'case' disguises personal stories of loss, trauma, determination, and hope for a future free from inequality, hate, and violence. The Fragile Life of the Atrocities Act lays bare the minute ways in which survivors, activists, and legal aid NGOs unlace and rearrange the structural allegiance of India's criminal legal system to Savarna worldviews: a system that holds the Atrocities Act, and thousands like RaguKarishma, captive.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Against the backdrop of the global Black Lives Matter movement, debates around the social impact of hate crime legislation have come to the political fore. In 2019, the UN Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice urgently asked how legal systems can counter bias and discrimination. In India, a nation with vast socio-cultural diversity, and a complex colonial past, questions about the relationship between law and histories of oppression have become particularly pressing. Recently, India has seen a rise in violence against Dalits (ex-untouchables) and other minorities. Consequently, an emerging 'Dalit Lives Matter' movement has campaigned for the effective implementation of India's only hate crime law: the 1989 Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes Prevention of Atrocities Act (PoA). Drawing on long-term fieldwork with Dalit survivors of caste atrocities, human rights NGOs, police, and judiciary, Sandhya Fuchs unveils how Dalit communities in the state of Rajasthan interpret and mobilize the PoA. Fuchs shows that the PoA has emerged as a project of legal meliorism: the idea that persistent and creative legal labor can gradually improve the oppressive conditions that characterize Dalit lives. Moving beyond statistics and judicial arguments, Fuchs uses the intimate lens of personal narratives to lay bare how legal processes converge and conflict with political and gendered concerns about justice for caste atrocities, creating new controversies, inequalities, and hopes'--.
