This book provides a comprehensive overview of caste in
contemporary India. With contributions from scholars like Valerian
Rodrigues, B.B. Mohanty, Surinder Jodhka, and Anand Teltumbde, it
discusses wide-ranging themes like the trajectory of caste in
post-independence India; Dalits and cultural identity; the paradox
of being a Dalit woman; caste violence and social mobility;
Ambedkar’s quest for the right of social equality; social
security for the inclusive development of Dalits; discrimination
and exclusion of Dalits in education; and Dalit merit and
institutional injustice, and presents an overview of the struggles
for distributive justice in India. This volume will be of
importance to scholars and researchers of Dalit studies, social
justice, exclusion studies, caste studies, affirmative action,
political studies, sociology, social anthropology, and South Asian
politics.
This book studies the exclusion and discrimination that is meted
out to Scheduled Caste (SC) students in the Indian Higher Education
system, and the psychosocial consequences of such practices. It
foregrounds the conceptual debates around caste, exclusion, and
reservations in Indian academia, discussing the social dominance
and the roots of prejudices in the university spaces. The volume
reflects upon the fragile social world in which students from the
margins struggle for survival in the academic space. It reveals
that these students navigate the various facets of academia - like
classrooms, pedagogy, scholarships, hostels, peer groups, and
teachers - only to find the academic space a dystopian universe.
The book also sheds light on suicide cases committed by the
marginalized groups as a testimony of protest. Based on in-depth
ethnographic research, this book will be of interest to teachers,
students and researchers of education, sociology, political
science, psychology, and exclusion studies. It will also be useful
for policymakers, social activists, NGOs, research centers, and
those working in higher education, reservations, public policy,
caste, and exclusion studies.
In Generalized Barycentric Coordinates in Computer Graphics and
Computational Mechanics, eminent computer graphics and
computational mechanics researchers provide a state-of-the-art
overview of generalized barycentric coordinates. Commonly used in
cutting-edge applications such as mesh parametrization, image
warping, mesh deformation, and finite as well as boundary element
methods, the theory of barycentric coordinates is also fundamental
for use in animation and in simulating the deformation of solid
continua. Generalized Barycentric Coordinates is divided into three
sections, with five chapters each, covering the theoretical
background, as well as their use in computer graphics and
computational mechanics. A vivid 16-page insert helps illustrating
the stunning applications of this fascinating research area. Key
Features: Provides an overview of the many different types of
barycentric coordinates and their properties. Discusses diverse
applications of barycentric coordinates in computer graphics and
computational mechanics. The first book-length treatment on this
topic
