Deceptive Majority

Dalits, Hinduism, and Underground Religion

Beschreibung

This is an ethnographic history of religious majoritarianism and its sly subversion by one of India's most oppressed minorities.

Autor

Joel Lee teaches and conducts research on religion, language, caste and the state in South Asia. In particular his work concerns the ways in which Dalits - those communities historically stigmatized as 'untouchable' - combat structural deprivation, navigate the politics of religious majoritarianism, and contend with the sensory and environmental entailments of sanitation labor in colonial and postcolonial India. His research and teaching interests also include linguistic anthropology, semiotics, popular Hinduism and Islam, and Urdu and Hindi literature.
