This book analyses dissent and its manifestations in movements of
social and political transformation across communities and
cultures. It shows how these movements create ruptures in the
structures of power, and social hierarchy; expressed through songs,
slogans, poetry and performances. The chapters in the book explore
these sites of transgression and the imprint they leave on culture,
politics, beliefs and the collective society - via music and poetry
as in the Bhakti movement or through feministic theories born in
post-World War Europe. It also explores how these dynamic movements
generate alternate spaces within which the self, identity and
collective purpose take new forms and find new meanings as they
travel. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of
the humanities, literature, history, sociology, politics and
culture studies.
