Siva And Her Sisters - Gender, Caste, And Class In Rural South India (Paperback, Revised)

This book examines two subordinated groups--"untouchables" and
women--in a village in Tamilnadu, South India. The lives and work
of "untouchable" women in this village provide a unique analytical
focus that clarifies the ways in which three axes of
identity--gender, caste, and class--are constructed in South India.
Karin Kapadia argues that subordinated groups do not internalize
the values of their masters but instead reject them in innumerable
subtle ways.Kapadia contends that elites who hold economic power do
not dominate the symbolic means of production. Looking at the
everyday practices, rituals, and cultural discourses of Tamil low
castes, she shows how their cultural values repudiate the norms of
Brahminical elites. She also demonstrates that caste and class
processes cannot be fully addressed without considering their
interrelationship with gender.
