Dalit Women (eBook, PDF)

Honour and Patriarchy in South India

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

One of the only ethnographic studies of Dalit women, this book gives a rich account of individual Dalit women's lives and documents a rise in patriarchy in the community. The author argues that as Dalits' economic and political position improves, 'honour' becomes crucial to social status. One of the ways Dalits accrue honour is by altering patterns of women's work, education and marriage, and by adopting dominant-caste gender practices. Simultaneously Dalits are asserting a distinct, politicised Dalit identity. Key to both,is the 'respectability' of women.
