Being Brahmin, Being Modern

Exploring the Lives of Caste Today

This book is a study of caste in contemporary India centred around a sociological reading of Brahmins in Karnataka. Pushing beyond older binaries like legitimation-contestation and dominance-resistance it suggests new registers of inquiry to understand the multivalent worlds of caste today.
