This is a book about prejudice and democracy, and the prejudice of
democracy. In comparing the historical struggles of two
geographically disparate populations - Indian Dalits (once known as
Untouchables) and African Americans - Gyanendra Pandey, the leading
subaltern historian, examines the multiple dimensions of prejudice
in two of the world's leading democracies. The juxtaposition of two
very different locations and histories, and within each of them of
varying public and private narratives of struggle, allows for an
uncommon analysis of the limits of citizenship in modern societies
and states. Pandey, with his characteristic delicacy, probes the
histories of his protagonists to uncover a shadowy world where
intolerance and discrimination are part of both public and private
lives. This unusual and sobering book is revelatory in its
exploration of the contradictory history of promise and denial that
is common to the official narratives of nations such as India and
the United States and the ideologies of many opposition movements.
