	Gender And Caste by Anupama Rao

	Your Price : Rs 325.00

Gender & Caste brings together important texts published, for the most part, in the last decade. This collection, the first in the series, serves as a succinct account of the caste/gender discourse, noting the theoretical tendencies that frame scholarship in the area. This volume makes explicit the ways in which Dalit women’s movements have contributed to unique feminist positions that are inadequately represented within mainstream Indian feminism. Brahminical patriarchy stigmatises Dalit women for their caste position; the oppression is compounded by the control of sexuality and labour power by men of their own caste. The exclusionary politics of mainstream Indian feminism has, for long, rendered this undercurrent invisible.
