Balmurli Natrajan

The Culturalization of Caste in India (eBook, ePUB)

Identity and Inequality in a Multicultural Age

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In India, caste groups ensure their durability in an era of multiculturalism by officially representing caste as cultural difference or ethnicity rather than unequal descent-based relations. Challenging dominant social theories of caste, this book addresses questions of how caste survives the system that gave rise to it and adapts to new demands of capitalism and democracy.
