520 $aDalit mobilization constitutes one of the major literary, social and political movements in the second half of twentieth- and twenty-first-century South Asia. This book breaks new ground in the study of Dalit literature. The volume canvases a host of literary genres including Dalit poetry, autobiographies, novels, pamphlets, short stories and testimonies, as well as Dalit art and graphic novels. It engages with writers such as Namdeo Dhasal, Baby Halder, Sharankumar Limbale, Bama, Kallen Pokkudan, Manohar Mouli Biswas, Praveeen Dadhvi and others. Bringing together incisive essays by renowned and emerging scholars in the field, it compares Dalit writings with other forms of subaltern writings from across the world, and explores the literatures of Dalit Muslims and Dalit Christians. Lucid, accessible and rigorous, the book will be indispensable for scholars and researchers of Dalit studies, social exclusion studies, Indian writing, literature and literary theory, politics, sociology, social anthropology and cultural studies. -- Back cover.
