This volume presents a comparative exploration of Dalit
autobiographical writing from India and of Latin American
testimonio as subaltern voices from two regions of the Global
South. Offering frames for linking global subalternity today, the
chapters address Siddalingaiah's Ooru Keri; Muli's Life History;
Manoranjan Byapari and Manju Bala's narratives; and Yashica Dutt's
Coming Out as Dalit; among others, alongside foundational texts of
the testimonio genre. While embedded in their specific experiences,
the shared history of oppression and resistance on the basis of
race/ethnicity and caste from where these subaltern life histories
arise constitutes an alternative epistemological locus. The
chapters point to the inadequacy of reading them within existing
critical frameworks in autobiography studies. A fascinating set of
studies juxtaposing the two genres, the book is an essential read
for scholars and researchers of Dalit studies, subaltern studies,
testimonio and autobiography, cultural studies, world literature,
comparative literature, history, political sociology and social
anthropology, arts and aesthetics, Latin American studies, and
Global South studies.
