This book, companion to the much-acclaimed Dalit Literatures in
India, examines questions of aesthetics and literary representation
in a wide range of Dalit literary texts. It looks at how Dalit
literature, born from the struggle against social and political
injustice, invokes the rich and complex legacy of oral, folk and
performative traditions of marginalised voices. The essays and
interviews systematically explore a range of literary forms, from
autobiographies, memoirs and other testimonial narratives, to
poems, novels or short stories, foregrounding the diversity of
Dalit creation. Showcasing the interplay between the aesthetic and
political for a genre of writing that has 'change' as its goal, the
volume aims to make Dalit writing more accessible to a wider
public, for the Dalit voices to be heard and understood. The volume
also shows how the genre has revolutionised the concept of what
literature is supposed to mean and define. Effervescent
first-person accounts, socially militant activism and sharp
critiques of a little-explored literary terrain make this essential
reading for scholars and researchers of social exclusion and
discrimination studies, literature (especially comparative
literature), translation studies, politics, human rights and
culture studies.
