Produktinformationen zu „Cultural Subordination and the Dalit Challenge: Women Heroes and Dalit Assertion in North India (ePub)“

It demonstrates how myths and memories of the role of Dalits in India's freedom struggle are employed for constructing identity and reconstructed for political mobilization.

Key feature include:

– some of the tales used to develop political consciousness at the grass-roots level;

– stories picked up from among the people themselves: reinterpreted; packaged; and disseminated orally or via pamphlets;

– how gods, heroes and other cultural resources of each caste are converted into political capital by giving them a visual image through calendars, statues, posters and memorials;

– how the BSP creates and recreates historical material to expand its electoral base.

Based on field studies and secondary information, the author outlines the politics of dissent which uses historical and cultural resources as identity markers in political mobilization. This book is invaluable for students of politics, sociology and history and all those engaged in Dalit studies.
