A Cry For Dignity: Religion, Violence and the Struggle of Dalit Women in India (Paperback - 2011)
Ships in 1-2 Days!
There are over two-hundred million Dalits- people designated as "untouchable" - across South Asia. Dalit women are subject to greater oppression than men: many are denied access to education, meaningful employment and healthcare and are subjected to temple prostitution and rape. A Cry for Dignity explores the lives of Dalit women and the violence they face and examines whether their spirituality - manifest in songs, stories and myth - is a source of strength or oppression. The lives of Dalit women on the subcontinent are set within the broader context of Dalits in the diaspora. A Cry for Dignity presents the plight of Dalit women from the unique perspective of their own movements for solidarity and justice.
