Identities and Assertions: Dalit Womens Narratives

This book analyses Dalit womens narratives through an examination of debates around questions of identity of Dalit women. It focuses on the construction of self through narratives, and maps the historical developments and contexts in which Dalit womens narratives were recorded and analysed. From discussions on methodology to questions of Dalit feminist ideology to political power and family, companionship and sexuality, this book attempts to recapitulate the history of the Dalit movement and literature that has already been documented. It also includes a deliberation on the Dalit movement and Dalit literature in Teluguspeaking regions.
