Routledge Subalternities in India and Latin America Book

Explore the shared history of oppression and resistance through this comparative study of subaltern voices. This volume by Routledge brings together Dalit autobiographical writing from India and Latin American testimonio to examine how marginalized groups express their lived experiences across the Global South. The text provides frameworks for linking global subalternity in the modern era. It examines specific narratives including Siddalingaiah's Ooru Keri, Muli's Life History, and works by Manoranjan Byapari and Manju Bala. It also includes Yashica Dutt's Coming Out as Dalit alongside foundational texts of the testimonio genre. By connecting these two distinct regions, the book offers a deep look at how race and social status shape identity and resistance. This is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in anthropology, sociology, and the power of autobiographical narratives in social movements.
